I remember reading about this when my dad printed out a news letter about it. =/ It pissed me off because during that time I was hardcore in to SpongeBob. I owned a thousand shirts and folders and pencils and other accessories. ^_^;
In that letter I remember they thought he was gay because the gay community used him as their new symbol or whatever. ( I think the homosexual community has better tastes than to use a sponge to depict their sexual preference. O-o; Besides, sponges are asexual not homosexual, right? >_> )
They said he was gay himself because he lived in a 'fruit'!! He was girly acting and very wimpy. He had a female friend who was clearly a lesbian because she was strong and manly. Then Spongebob had a PINK STAR as his best friend. O-o;;; They even said that Mr. Crabs was an inside joke about homosexual diseases. When I read that I nearly crapped my pants, I laughed so hard.

Still, it's sad for people to seriously try to find more than what is there just to find something to rant about.

SpongeBob . . . Fight the power!!
