An Archie Comics issue featuring a gay wedding on the cover was banned in Singapore for it's pro-homosexuality image. A popular Archie character, Kevin Keller, the first openly gay man in comics is featured getting married on the cover of the Archie issue which was released in 2012.

Singapor banned the Archie Comic through its Media Development Authority  or (MDA). A spokesperson for the agency told Time.com that it found the content of the Archie comic to  "breach of guidelines because of its depiction of the same sex marriage of two characters in the comic. We thus informed the local distributor not to import or distribute the comic in retail outlets," the spokersperson said in a statement to the magazine.

According to the Singapore agency's cencorship guidelines, comic books cannot contain covers that are sexually suggestive, or that use foul language, or that portray drug use. In regards to the Archie comic that was banned, the government doesn't allow anything that depicts "alernative lifestyles" to be featured on comic book covers. That means no pro-homosexuality images.

The subject heading reads as follows, "Themes or depictions of alernative lifestyles or deviant sexual practices should not be featured e.g. homosexuality..."

In the United States, the American Library Association keeps a list of banned or challeneged books in the United States includes the books, Bone, Bless Me Ultima, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Looking for Alaska, A Bad Boy Can Be a Good for A Girl, The Hunger Games, Fifty Shades of Grey, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, The Bluest Eye, and Captain Underpants.

When the comic book "Life With Archie #16" debuted here in the United States, it wasn't banned, but it was protested by a group called One Million Moms. The Hollywood Reporter stated that although the protests targeted major retailers carrying the comic, it only helped the issue sell out.

"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 [Co-CEO Jon] Goldwater's triumphant press release," THR reported.

"Kevin will always be a major part of Riverdale, and we're overjoyed, honored and humbled by the response to this issue," he said. "Our fans have come out full force to support Kevin. He is, without a doubt, the most important new character in Archie history. He's here to stay."
