Not just gay, but also black, and one’s in the military! It’s the FRC equivalent of “lions and tigers and bears”

A few weeks ago, One Million Moms — a division of the American Family Association, which was named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center — was in the news protesting the fact that JC Penney had signed talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson, as she is gay and thus “not a true representation of the type of families that shop at their store.” They were unable to bend the department store chain to their will, but this week, they’re at it again with a new target: Archie Comics.

They’re particularly offended by the fact that Life With Archie #16, a comic that depicts the marriage of gay character Kevin Keller, is being sold in Toys ‘R’ Us. The problem, according to One Million Moms, is that children shouldn’t be allowed to see this comic because it has issues “that are too complicated for them to understand.”
