Hmmm...I have never viewed cartoons in that way.
« on: February 02, 2005, 03:07:57 PM »
SpongeBob SquarePants is gay! Or is he? And why is there so little information on a matter everyone is discussing?

The scandal surrounding the sexual orientation of the cartoon character SpongeBob looks like a media creation. The snickers directed at the ultra-conservative James Dobson of "Focus on the Family" -- the man ‘credited’ with questioning how square SpongeBob’s pants actually are --seem intended to obscure the issue and vilify the man.

Are SpongeBob's Pants Really Square?

The issue is: should the public school system be used to encourage sexual attitudes in children, especially attitudes to which their parents might object?

Dobson ignited the current furor two weeks ago during a speech in which he blasted a video that was slated to be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools on "We Are Family Day," March 11.

The video uses popular cartoon characters to promote the concept of ‘diversity,’ which Dobson identifies rightly or wrongly with a "gay agenda." In the video, cartoon characters — including Barney the Dinosaur, Winnie the Pooh, and SpongeBob SquarePants— sing and dance to the ‘70s disco hit "We are Family."

A quick trip to the "we are family foundation" website (the video producer) will tell you exactly what the agenda is from this organization. It really is pretty thinly veiled. Tolerance at any cost and anyone who doesn't agree is operating out of "ignorance, insensitivity and bigotry". 'Nuff said.

Those be typical names such forces employ to label and stigmatize the cognoscenti, say Dali Llama! :twisted:  :x  :evil:

Lets face it the queers and the lesbians want every one to think their lifestyle normal so they will use any way they can to get their message out. They figure the more folks accept them the more normal they seem. It might get the liberals to fall for it but most conservatives do not fall for such tactics.  Seems like every new program HOllywood puts out has some one with a pocket full of fruitloops in it.  :x

That was uncalled for and has been fixed. GB
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.
