Were Archie's Bebop and Rocksteady gay?

However if you were to ask Murphy NOW, I don't know, he might say something different.

You'd be surprised. A lot of people had fun 'getting crap past the radar'. It's like when they sneak in adult jokes into kids cartoons and movies. Bebop and Rocksteady might not be gay, but they were gay-coded in those final Archie issues.
