Well, I figure Sponge Bob is gay. So are Ernie and Bert as well as Tinky Winky. And let's not forget "Mr. Hand" on South Park! When you figure an estimated 10% or so of the human population is gay, it would only be fair and right to have a few gay cartoons, no? I figure we need a real flamer just to truly balance things out. Any suggestions on a good gay cartoon character that ought to exist? Maybe "Queer Man" setting out to rid the world of polyester?

Your right about 10% of people being gay. So having cartoons and tv shows with "gays" makes sense. Actually I am a straight male but I love watching the "L Word" and I have no problems with "gay charactors" in various programs like "six feet under" etc... Gay charactors is not really an issue to me. Personally I don't really care if there are "gay" people or charactors on tv unlike the religious right.

Was it on this forum, or in an article on the Internet, that I read gays are actually underrepresented in US TV-shows? Oh wait, I saw it on TV. They also said that the gays who are seen on TV, all have heterosexual friends, a very strong heterosexual connection and many times act like heterosexuals. When we look at Will & Grace for example, although Will is gay, his best friend is straight (Grace), he never ever has an openly relationship with a guy in the serie and kissing is almost out of the question. The only sex scenes or love you see are through Grace and her boyfriends or through Will who dreams of sex with Grace :lol:

This is what happens when a sponge and a starfish hold hands!

I could care less if a character is gay or heterosexual. I could care less.....I could......if I tried......but I don't care.

....I don't care if your hetero...I don't care if your not. I don't care if your purple with pink spots who licks flower petals and dances to Mozard with a string bikini bottom on your round bald head. I don't care.

Why anybody would be concerned with a drawing of sponge holding hands with a starfish is beyond me. I would be concerned if it happened in REAL life. Cause that'd mean that all those scientists were wrong. Sponges and starfish are capable of love.

I love sponge bob. Great show even for adults. If he's gay, then Bugs Bunny is a flaming queer. He's at least a cross dresser. Honestly, they look stupid in the states making a big deal about a cartoon. Besides, what about all those little gay kids in the states. They need a role model! Ernie and Bert are not enough!

Only the neo con religious fringe would think spongue bob, bert and ernie etc are gay? Why is that? Do they have secret homosexual fantasy's or too afraid to come out of the closet themselves?

Personally I could care less if cartoons, children charactors are gay or not. I do not see the big deal. Nothing wrong with homosexuality like the religious fringe would have you believe.

Aren't there more important issues in the world going on?????

The odds are that anybody with a fringe is more than likely to become gay.

Still, if there ever was an accused who could rightfully blame his flaw upon society it is SpongeBob.

After all, he could only absorb that which society provided for him.
