Well I don't know who might have said that Archie was latently homosexual. If anyone did I suspect it was probably the Rev. Jerry Falwell or some other member of America's Taliban. They seem to see homosexuals peeking out of every closet.
As far as Archie's relationships are concerned I think you can pretty much sum it up with this quote "Veronica sends me and Betty defends me". He's clearly been completely infatuated with Veronica since the 40's. I suspect that her father's complete disapproval of Archie has added the lure of forbidden fruit to her obvious charms. Meanwhile Betty is always ready to rush to his rescue when he's in a jam and comfort him when he's down. It's a lot like the three-way relationship between Johnny Rico, Carmen and Dizzy in Paul Verhoeven's adaptation of "Starship Troopers" but I digress.
