Connections: Pride Week and the Death of Archie

Archie is dead. Yes, the famous Archie from the comics is going to die in an upcoming issue, and it's a shocking death: Archie takes a bullet to protect his gay friend.

It's Pride Week, and the Archie storyline has people talking. Is it a cheap ploy for attention? Or is any subject that gets people thinking about the gay community a good idea?

That's the hook for discussing Pride Week with our guests:

Scott Fearing, Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley
Mike Ringelberg, owner of 1st Print Comics
Darya Nicol, Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley
