	SpongeBob SquarePants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spongebob is sometimes portrayed for brief moments in women's clothing, (in three episodes), often cited by people as evidence to support the controversy, however it should be noted that SpongeBob is one of many other famous cartoon and slapstick characters, including the mega-popular classic Bugs Bunny to have gone above the limits and endure controversy.
		SpongeBob SquarePants officially aired on July 17 of the same year with the second episode, "Bubblestand/Ripped Pants." Most episodes take place in the town of Bikini Bottom or the surrounding lagoon floor.
		Events in the past with the SpongeBob SquarePants theme include an exhibit at Underwater Adventures Aquarium in the Mall of America called SeaCrits of Bikini Bottom during the summer of 2003.

	Will Spongebob make you gay? - Countdown with Keith Olbermann - MSNBC.com
		Though the revised "SpongeBob and Friends tape," which is to be distributed to the schools, is not supposed to be released until March, we've gotten a hold of the advanced copy from the "We Are Family Foundation," which produced it.
		Now the little yellow guy who lives in a pineapple under the sea is at the center of a far grimmer controversy, again not of his own making.
		It is a foundation created by the man who wrote the disco hit of 1979, "We Are Family." Below is the whole thing, with the caveat that if the folks from Focus on the Family are right, it could make you, your children or maybe your furniture gay.

	The Swift Report: Bush State of the Union to Identify New 'Axis of Evil': SpongeBob, Buster and Winnie the Pooh
		May 1, 2005 3:59:55 PM With the recent controversy surrounding SpongeBob Squarepants and other cartoon stars under attack from the Christian right for “promoting” homosexuality, Butterflies and Wheels special correspondent Barney F. McClelland uncovers a cartoon hero for our times.
		WASHINGTON, DC—In his State of the Union address tonight, President Bush is expected to identify a new ‘axis of evil’: SpongeBob SquarePants, Buster the Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh.
		Feb 2, 2005 3:32:49 PM I am pretty sure the resentment of the Christian right recently brought to light by the attacks on SpongeBob and Buster goes all the way back to the lesser known report by Alfred Kinsey, "Sexual behaviour of the cartoon character" (1947).

		Spongebob Squarepants, the little yellow guy who lives in a pineapple under the sea, is at the centre of a controversy again.
