In reply to Sponge Bob and sexual preference?, posted by Fallen4MyT on January 21, 2005, at 22:20:16
Hmmm. Don't know a bloody thing about any controversy, but Spongebob strikes me as more nebbishy than gay. And I don't think his best friend Patrick the pink starfish even knows what sex is. What I think Spongebob really needs is an emergency visit from the Fab Five ("Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"). Lose the sailor suit, for Christ's sake -- the Gilligan look was NEVER in. Then maybe Spongebob could get to first base with that squirrel girl in the diving suit. But there's a lingering question of logistics here. A sponge is inherently pretty soggy and limp. All over. So how ...?
Don't know what all the fuss is about, anyway. Ernie and Bert have been domestic partners on Sesame Street for years, and even C-3PO (talk about gaydar) and the phallic-shaped R2-D2, who looks like a short vibrator on wheels, have kept it together in the harsh glare of the media spotlight. They've been partners for decades. Gay kids' characters is old news. I mean, Bugs Bunny has been cross-dressing at the drop of a hat since the '40s. Atticus
