SpongeBob wants to turn your kids gay!
And so do a multitude of other popular cartoon characters from PBS, Nickelodeon, and the Disney Channel. This according to the American Family Association, one of two conservative Christian activist groups protesting an educational video that will be distributed to 61,000 US elementary schools this March. The video (envision a kind of "Band Aid" for the toddlers-to-tweens set) features an all-star set of TV's most popular animated characters performing a remake of the 1979 Sister Sledge song "We Are Family"...
...sounds pretty gay so far. Especially when you add in guest appearances by Whoopi Goldberg and Bill Cosby, clearly two of the gayest celebrities out there.
Wha-? Actually, according to Ed Vitagliano of the American Family Association, the message of tolerance and unity promoted in this video carries an undercurrent of celebrating homosexuality, because the website for the We Are Family Foundation (the group setup by legendary songwriter and producer Nile Rodgers which created the video) pledges tolerance and "respect for people whose abilities, beliefs, culture, race, sexual identity or other characteristics are different from my own."

...or read about it with a scary so-called "Christian" slant.
