I just heard someone say that it was announced today that Spongebob Squarepants is gay. Is that true?

No. Spongebob is not gay. He's a cartoon character.

He doesn't have a penis. He doesn't have a sexual drive. He doesn't even have a real mouth.

He cannot be gay. What you probably heard part of was some older news that some gay rights activists are using Spongebob, and other famous cartoon characters, to start in a video supporting ~homosexual tolerance and understanding~. This, too, does not make Spongebob gay.

Nor does it make the viewers gay. But some super Christian groups are shouting that this will "turn their kids gay". Yeah.

I don't even know how to react to that. It's absurd reasoning, and I can't understand why preaching tolerance would ever be a bad thing. ...but then again, I'm not a Christian.

From Wikipedia: "In 2005, a promotional video which showed SpongeBob along with other characters from children's shows singing together to promote diversity and tolerance, was attacked by an evangelical group in the United States because they saw the character SpongeBob being used as an advocate for homosexuality. James Dobson of Focus on the Family accused the makers of the video of promoting homosexuality due to a pro-homosexual group sponsoring the video. The incident led to questions to whether or not SpongeBob is homosexual.

Creator of the character, Stephen had previously denied that SpongeBob was gay in 2002 when SpongeBob's popularity with gay men grew. He clarified that the character is asexual. After Dobson made the comments, llenburg repeated this assertion that sexual preference was never considered during the creation of the show.

Tom Kenny and other production members were shocked and surprised that such an issue had arisen. Dobson later asserted that his comments were taken out of context and that his original complaints were not with SpongeBob, the video, or any of the characters in the video but with the organization that sponsored the video, We Are Family Foundation. Dobson indicated that the We Are Family Foundation posted pro-homosexual material on their website, but later removed it.

After the controversy, John H. Thomas, the United Church of Christ's general minister and president, said they would welcome SpongeBob into their ministry. He said 'Jesus didn't turn people away.

Neither do we.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
