LGBTQ Themes and Undertones in SpongeBob SquarePants
David Ayala
The cartoon show SpongeBob SquarePants has, for almost two decades, fazed fresh children and teens alike. Its unusual form of comedy and humor has appealed to many age demographics. Critics have referred to the show as “charming and whimsical, but clever enough to appeal to teens and college-aged kids.” Despite its extended run success, SpongeBob has not been without its controversies. These take shape mainly due to the uncertain sexual orientation of the title character. Despite not intended to carry out so, the show often mirrors themes and undertones that sympathize with the LGBTQ cause, even before the cause was becoming more acceptable. These, however, take the form of exaggerated LGBTQ stereotypes. The controversy also resulted due to the fact that the show was aimed at children. The interrogate that will be answered in this analysis is whether the show intends to display its compassion to the LGBTQ lead to, albeit in a subliminal way, and does the audience, in this case children, are affected by the exposure of this.

Nickelodeon Just Announced That SpongeBob SquarePants Is Gay
In news that will perhaps be unsurprising to many, Nickelodeon just appeared to make the announcement that the beloved children's TV character SpongeBob SquarePants is a arrogant member of the LGBTQ+ community.
The network marked Pride month with a upload on Twitter, stating that it was "Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ society and their allies this month and every month," accompanied by artwork of SpongeBob, Schwoz Schwartz from Henry Danger, and Korra from Avatar: The Legend of Korra, all in rainbow-tinted hues.
Korra is canonically gay within the earth of Avatar, having embarked on an explicitly romantic on-screen relationship with her best friend, Asami Sato. It is unclear, however, whether Nickelodeon were referring to the "community" or "allies" when it came to those pictures of Schwoz and SpongeBob — but the internet has already made up its mind that after 20 years of iconically camp habit, S.B. is finally, officially out of the closet.
SpongeBob SquarePants started airing in 1999, and has become known for its mix of surrealism and slapstick humor. Several moment
