I'm curious to know how people feel about Disney, Nickolodeon, and other media directed at children being sexualized and LGBT-ized? This seems like balatant attempt to brainwash children.

Gee, if celebrating something a group is celebrating makes you a member of that group, I want my Super Bowl ring because I sure did celebrate the NY Jets winning Super Bowl III.

Children will encounter LGBT people, they are part of life. Any notion that they must be hidden from children while straight relationships should not is censorship based on your own proclivities.

P.S. All that they did was share some fan art to elicit this response. No actual implication he was gay whatsoever. Just that, oh the horror, he may be an ally?

Yeah...they're gender fluid bisexuals. But not gay. But that was an assertion by this whining outrage piece, not Nickelodeon.

So Ill take it as SpongeBob was celebrating #pride with the LBGTQ community, nothing more.
So what about his crush Sandy?
That's Right.

Unless Spongebob is bisexual. That could be possible.

This is silly to worry about. I'm far more concerned where high school kids get the idea that they need to shoot up their schools.

"Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month," the tweet reads.

#SpongeBobIsGay started trending as many decided the tweet was confirmation of the character's sexuality.
Due in part to his close relationship with best friend Patrick Star, the internet had long ago decided that SpongeBob was indeed gay.
But the show's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, dismissed speculation about the characters' relationship and sexuality in 2005.
Hillenburg died in 2018 at the age of 57 due to complications resulting from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS.

"It doesn't have anything to do with what we're trying to do," People magazine reported Hillenburg as saying. "We never intended them to be gay. I consider them to be almost asexual. We're just trying to be funny and this has got nothing to do with the show."
