Nickelodeon Suggests Popular Kids TV Character Is Gay

It was announced last week that the “Looney Tunes” cartoons were receiving a progressive makeover, and Elmer Fudd, who is a hunter, would no longer use guns. Not to be outdone, Nickelodeon wants you to know that SpongeBob SquarePants might be gay.

Apparently, the anthropomorphic sea sponge of the massively popular children’s cartoon might have a sexual preference. In a tweet posted in honor of Pride Month, Nickelodeon announced that SpongeBob SquarePants is “celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month.” ⁣. . .

This isn’t the first controversy over SpongeBob’s sexuality. In 2002 episode titled “Rock-a-Bye Bivalve,” SpongeBob and his best friend Patrick Star, a pink starfish who also lives in Bikini Bottom, co-parent an abandoned scallop.

Before he passed away from ALS in 2018, “SpongeBob SquarePants” creator Stephen Hillenburg said the talking sponge is “asexual” in a 2005 interview with People Magazine. (Read more from “Nickelodeon Suggests Popular Kids TV Character Is Gay” HERE)
