SpongeBob = Queer Icon?

Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed it, either. I mean, SpongeBob seems so inocuous and quite ambiguous. Besides, doesn't he have a *girlfriend* ... or is she just his skirt?

If you ask Focus on the Family, they'll probably swear up and down that SpongeBob is trying to "convert" small children to homosexuality - with producer Nile Rogers at the helm.

Focus on the Family - Party Crashers

Remember, Focus on the Family is the same group who poo-pooed 'Everything to Everyone' because the song 'Celebrity' was "marred by a crass sexual reference" I really shouldn't get started venting my spleen about them. They're pretty decent about some things, but a lot of what they say really knots my knickers.

Hmmm - didn't know about that one! I'm surprised that they didn't get their collective panties in a bunch over the band's name. ;)

They probably did, back when they first started. they're usually pretty good about not beating a dead horse.

Well we all know FOTF are a bunch of idiots, but what really surprised me was this:

>>"The fact that some people may be upset with each other peoples' lifestyles, that is O.K.," Mr. Rodgers said. "We are just talking about respect."<<

It's OK?!?!?! How is it ok that some people are upset with other peoples' lifestyles?!?!?! And from Nile Rodgers, of all people. I mean, COME ON!

Unless I'm having sex with YOU... my "lifestyle" is none of your freaking concern.
