NICKELOON JT ANNOUNCED THAT SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IS GAY

Origs: In early May 2002 cements to sign a petn opposg a proposed gaycentric segment of Nick News began to perlate through the onle muny. The segment is a realy and is beg planned as a news special scribed as "engag[g] children a discsn over gay parentg and discrimatn agast homosexuals. To the Tradnal Valu Coaln, the group phg the petn drive, the foc of the segment amounts to an airg of "the homosexual.

How one views this topic and the uproar over will pend great part upon that person's personal views about homosexualy, as tempered by his or her asssment of the imprsnabily of children. The petns tend to dm support for the anti-gay si are often flammatory, however, so those leang towards that view will have to do a b of judic filterg prr to givg this a real thk-over. Other versns we've seen claim gays "are aggrsively targetg children for homosexual recment!

" and the proposed show "will promote homosexual sodomy.

" Nickeloon spokman David Btler said the show is not about sexualy, but do offer a chance for children to talk about different fay stctur, cludg gay and straight parentg. Appearg segments of the program wh children will be Rosie O'Donnell, the popular talk show host (and adoptive mother of three), as well as a New York Cy firefighter and a Mnota school prcipal, all of whom are gay. ) The Tradnal Valu Coaln believ "the upg program may be a ltle ls radil than otherwise, but only bee we've exposed Nickeloon’s pro-homosexual agenda.

If we're sayg gay people serve tolerance and rpect, we're also sayg that people are entled to their own opns.

This is not a show about how one knows her or she is gay; 's not about sex and do not tell you what to thk.
