Wh few openly gay men around, Kev’s optns are limed. This is on top of years of livg a heteronormative society where homophobia is still rife. While thgs have improved a ltle recent tim, is still monplace for gay male characters mastream TV programm and films to be ltle more than promiscuo, sex-obssed begs.
To see Riverdale attempt to give more ntext to Kev’s life and give him an opportuny to open-up about his stggl is an important tone for gay teen characters. The lk between gay sex and murr is a mon TV & film troupe. More recently, Stranger by the Lake also featured a murrer on the loose at a gay cisg spot.
From the murr of her tw to gay 'cure' therapy, Cheryl saw her fair share of tragedy before fdg support her relatnship wh Toni. Then there's Joaqu himself, who had long shown var dimensns to his sexualy through his velopg relatnship wh the openly gay Kev Keller – before he was murred, anyway. In Riverdale, men n be gay, straight or anythg Riverdale for bisexual+ characters isn't always all 's cracked up to be, though.
