Speaking of companies not being bullied by that one million moms group

Apparently two characters in Archie comics got married, and Toys R Us won't remove the comic from their shelves despite this group demanding they do so.

The Life With Archie #16 comic, in which the character became the first gay character to wed in the longrunning Archie Comics series, sold out of stores, its publisher's co-CEO Jon Goldwater announced in a press release. The wedding brought to idyllic fictional Riverdale a dose of modern day politics: Keller is a military veteran who met his new husband, an African American, while serving in Iraq.

The conservative group One Million Moms protested the issue, demanding that Toys R' Us take the issue off its shelves, but the store held firm, leading to big sales and Goldwater's triumphant press release.
