It promotes homosexuality because of the song, rather than the characters involved. I've seen dozens of drag shows where this song is used. Even the term "family" is used to describe members of the homosexual community.
I mean, look at spongebob...look at his clothes. That tie doesn't come anywhere close to matching those pants....and black shoes with brown shorts?! There's no way he could be gay.
Heheh, true. I mean, I really struggle to understand the mind set of such people. With the world in the way it is you would imagine they would have there hands full with serious problems, instead they seem to spend there time watching kids cartoons and complaining about a song which implies unity and acceptance. What a bizarre little world they inhabit.

Don't bring yourself down to their level in an attempt to understand, you might hurt yourself and end up stuck there forever!

Gay warning on SpongeBobChristian Conservative groups have issued a gay alert warning over a children's video starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and a host of other cartoon favourites.
The wacky square and yellow SpongeBob is one of the stars of a music video due to be sent to 61,000 US schools in March.
The makers, the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation, say the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.
But at least two Christian activist groups say the innocent cartoon characters are being exploited to promote the acceptance of homosexuality.
"A short step beneath the surface reveals that one of the differences being celebrated is homosexuality," wrote Ed Vitagliano in an article for the American Family Association.
The video is a remake of the 1979 hit song We Are Family using the voices and images of SpongeBob, Barney, Winnie the Pooh, Bob the Builder, the Rugrats and 100 TV cartoon stars.
It was made by a foundation set up by songwriter Nile Rodgers after the September 11, 2001, hijacked plane attacks to promote the nation's healing process.
AdvertisementChristian groups have taken exception to the tolerance pledge on the foundation's website, which asks people to respect the sexual identity of others, along with their abilities, beliefs, culture and race.
"Their inclusion of the reference to sexual identity within their tolerance pledge is not only unnecessary, but it crosses a moral line," Focus on the Family founder Dr James Dobson said today.
The attack has stunned Rodgers.
"That is so myopic and harsh," he told Reuters.
"You have really got to look hard to find anything in this that is offensive to anyone.
"The last thing I am going to do is taint these characters."
Dobson was quoted by the New York Times today as having singled out the wildly popular SpongeBob during remarks about the video at a Washington DC dinner this week.
SpongeBob, who lives in a pineapple under the sea, was "outed" by the US media in 2002 after reports that the TV show and its merchandise was popular with gays.
His creator, Stephen Hillenburg, said at the time that, although SpongeBob was an oddball, he thought of all the characters as asexual.
It is not the first time that children's TV favourites have come under the critical spotlight of the US Christian right.
Tinky Winky, the purse-toting purple Teletubbie, was in 1999 declared a homosexual role model by Reverend Jerry Falwell.

What are your thoughts, discuss.
No offense to anyone, but a lot of Americans are idiots.
Mothers against ..... and Christians against ..... groups suck.
They ALWAYS make themselves look like idiots.
Jesus would be turning in his cave! schmoll
Heaven forbid that a movie "which asks people to respect the sexual identity of others, along with their abilities, beliefs, culture and race" be seen by children.
It is every Christians duty to prevent their Jesus loving children from being taught tolerance.
Christian Conservative groups are vile, racist, prejudiced, homophobic bigots who's idiocy can be clearly seen in the Sponge Bob example.
These very same wackos are currently running the country! 🤪
Here's a suggestion. Ban the bible.
It's more harmful to your children than Sponge Bob could ever be.
It's pornographic, violent and teaches murder, hate and prejudice.
