Indeed - and it's sad that everyone seems so shocked with the emphasis on gay relationships when not much seemed to be said on other sexual issues. It's an issue for me that Batman was sleeping around and fathered a child he never knew about (Damion Wayne) - talk about dysfunction. - but seeing the comic where Bruce gave into Taila, I was thinking "Kids of all ages are checking this out" and it became pretty standard that there was nothing wrong with seeing comic heroes having relations with others within the comic. Since then, even others such as Night Wing have been seen in such situations - and that has been for decades now.
Unfortunate that is the case.
I don't see a problem with the comics of the links you provided. The first one with the story about Archie being accused of robbing Betty's innocence...that's toward the end of the story. When it explained that his car went into the lake when he was driving Betty around and they took refuge in a motel, and the parents are acting like regular parents of a teenager, there's nothing wrong there. The point being, nothing happened between them. The only thing ever sexual in the Archie comics that is shown is regular puckered kisses. That may have changed after the mid to late '80s and onward, but the ones we had were clean. No sleeping around, no make out sessions other than kisses and hugs.Gxg (G²);66002881 said:Indeed - and it's sad that everyone seems so shocked with the emphasis on gay relationships when not much seemed to be said on other sexual issues.

With Archie, if I am not mistaken, there were a couple of instances where there were some VERY adult situations that happened years ago - and I was surprised no one tackled them. For reference you can investigate on your own:
There has always been a bit of progression within the Archie Comics
I agree with this post.
Hi Dot
I honestly can't say I'm shocked. I think that's what is to be expected with the fallen society we live in....Lord have mercy on their souls...sad indeed
Does anyone remember with "Good Luck Charlie" on Disney was supposed to have lesbian moms on it? I don't think it happened.....
When I was younger (circa 2001-2006), I didn't even remember the whole gay thing being crammed down everyone's throats 24/7. I honestly don't think it became as big as a political issue until I was in my early teens....(last decade) Maybe I wasn't that observant...
You're a young one, but I find in interesting that even in the short period of time you've been alive, you've noticed a difference in the few years that you were old enough to remember such stuff. If I think back, it was the '70's that first had any movie with same sex males in it - Midnight Cowboy - maybe there were some others, but that's the only one I remember, and I only know of it or heard of it because somebody had mentioned it a few years back. There were some movies with characters with same sex attractions in the '80's, but it was looked upon differently then. More of an abnormality. When it started to change, from my recollection, was in the mid to late '90's...the shows promoted it differently at that point, but it wasn't so prevalent. Now, it seems to be.Hi Dot

As children should be.Ok, I see. I knew gay people existed, I just didn't think much of it, I obviously knew that marriage was between a "mommy" and "daddy" because God blessed married couples with children. I obviously wasn't aware of how humans were conceived via sexual reproduction until 5th grade, as my parents see...sex as taboo almost.....BUT that's a different topic......
I guess I was rather innocent as a child.
