ay yi yi, I heard this on the radio this morning. I think it's just organizations trying to get some face time more than any thing else.

Yeah, isn't it the same group that said the Teletubby "Tinky Winky" was gay cuz he carried a purse sometimes?

Some people just need to get jobs or mates or something...

Actually I remember reading an article sometime last year that ol' Spongebob was becoming quite the gay icon. Gift shops and such in areas with an established gay population couldn't keep S.B. keychains, pics, "action figures" and such on the shelves. They were selling as fast as they were being delivered.

I'm a big SpongeBob fan too. We'll just have to accept him as he is eh??

why do these so called preachers J.falwell, P robertson & christian groups focus on this gay issue so much? i dont get it? i remember when pat robertson and falwell said the 911 attacks, were a result of god being mad due to gays/liberalism. ofcourse they apologized the next day but this is the stuff that keeps me away from christianity in general.

on a side note. did anyone find it odd that when that bishop was taken hostage in iraq, and the pope pleaded to have him set free, he was released the next day. is that the power of the catholic church or what?!?!! wow!

I would guess you can request anything from anyone...whether or not you get it would be another matter...

I didn't realize the bishop was released. I'd heard he was captured, but nothing after that. Good news.

Sponge Bob: he's gay because he holds hands with his male friend all the time. Undeniably a bad role model. ;)

Ya, this is a tough one. And when folks get that rooted in being 'right' there is no argument to be had. It is predetermined impass. The whole same sex thing is really blooming into a mess. I know some folks who experiment. I also know of folks like Jamie Lee Curtis who where born both sexes and it is impossible for the parents to know which sex to make that person physicaly to match what will develop with adolesence. And ya these folks who go off on an extream tangent under whatever umbrella really create havoc. They are probably enabling same sex as much as thwarting it per peoples natural response to rebel against self richous athority, especially youth. Sex like all ohter instincts are difficult to manage. Obviously some people have a more difficult time than others. And praying for the Pope... absolutely! Too often we forget we are all human as are our organizations.

Oh well nothing new. Been this way for 6000 years. Probably won't go away tomorrow or the next day.

Hey, someone moved the menu to the wrong side. What happened? Things were great and then they had to go and change everything.

well the pope just started creating his home based pc recording studio, and visited here often to get tips and i think he requested the menu be moved to the left side. :)

He'll be recording vocals so he'll probably be needing a pope shield.

God that was awful.

How could anyone not think he is gay with the name SPONGE bob. I'd not heard of this character before, but that is one of the funniest things, I'd love to be a writer of kids programmes.

But on a more serious note: this whole anti gay thing still amazes me. Is it that people are worried that they, or others, may catch "gayness" if they are exposed to it? I just don't understand why being gay is feared so much.

How can you promote gayness? My sexual preference is not something that I choose, it's not like an opinion that can be changed with argument, I'm not going to talk to someone one day and then decide to turn gay because he talked me into it. I just don't get it.

some people believe that one chooses to be gay. that makes about as much sense as...well, it just makes no sense (error 902: METAPHOR GENERATION ALGORITHM FAILURE)

I believe that some people make that choice...I am sure sometimes it's a predisposition, but some people make the choice...

Not only that, cuz I wopuld suppose atraction to both can be a predisposition, but I am talking more about that certain mentality of people, we all know at least one, that follows any current trend, fad or cause, or is always part of the something "unique" or something like that. You know what I mean? SOme people just have to feel a part of something so they follow something at random...people like that drive me nuts.

Ya know, I always thought Sea Sponges were Asexual. This is kind of a miracle if he is now gay. How does one figure if he is a "he" or a "she" and whether "They" prefer men or woman?????

and on another sied of the thread,
My GF is Bi. She considers herself a "Lesbian Identified" bisexual. Meaning she is MORE attracted to girls. "Lucky me" :-)

But the whole debate is interesting. But to be honest, I have pretty much filed it under "I really don't care". Let people do what/who they want. (No children or animals though) Doesn't harm me, and as long as they are happy, why not. There seems to be a shortage of happy folks out there. I would not want to rain on their parade.

Another empty attempt by organized religon to control people...To somewhat cop a line from my favorite God...George Carlin...."No wonder why no one takes our country seriously, we spend valuable TV and press time trying to characterize" the sexuality of imaginary figures...

(his actual line is about Mickey Mouses birthday being announced on the news as if it's an actual event...)

"...waste valuable TV time announcing the birthday of an imaginary rodent..."
