LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Conservative Christian groups accuse the makers of a
video starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and a host of other cartoon characters of
promoting homosexuality to children.

The wacky square yellow SpongeBob is one of the stars of a music video due to be sent to
61,000 U.S. schools in March. The makers -- the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation -- say
the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.

But at least two Christian activist groups say the innocent cartoon characters are being
exploited to promote the acceptance of homosexuality.

"A short step beneath the surface reveals that one of the differences being celebrated is
homosexuality," wrote Ed Vitagliano in an article for the American Family Association.

The video is a remake of the 1979 hit song "We Are Family" using the voices and images of
SpongeBob, Barney, Winnie the Pooh, Bob the Builder, the Rugrats and other TV cartoon
characters. It was made by a foundation set up by songwriter Nile Rodgers after the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in an effort to promote healing.

Christian groups however have taken exception to the tolerance pledge on the foundation's
Web site, which asks people to respect the sexual identity of others along with their
abilities, beliefs, culture and race.

"Their inclusion of the reference to 'sexual identity" within their 'tolerance pledge'
is not only unnecessary, but it crosses a moral line," James Dobson, founder of Focus
on the Family, said in a statement released Thursday.

Rodgers said he was astounded by the attack.

"That is so myopic and harsh," he told Reuters. "You have really got to look hard to
find anything in this that is offensive to anyone. The last thing I am going to do is
taint these characters."

Dobson was quoted by the New York Times on Thursday as having singled out the wildly
popular SpongeBob during remarks about the video at dinner this week in Washington, D.C.

SpongeBob, who lives in a pineapple under the sea, was "outed" by the U.S. media in
2002 after reports that the TV show and its merchandise are popular with gays. His
creator, Stephen Hillenburg, said at the time that though SpongeBob was an oddball,
he thought of all the characters in the show as asexual.

It is not the first time that children's TV favorites have come under the critical
spotlight of the Christian right. In 1999, the Rev. Jerry Falwell described Tinky Winky,
the purse-toting purple Teletubbie, as a gay role model.

i don' t know how old this article is. i am thinking maybe a couple of days old. but let the rants begin!!!

um... I think that vidoe was released over a year ago if it is the one I am thinking it is. We ran it during our fund drive past March I think. If it is a different one then we ran one like it last year.

I am sorry. I just do not understand a person who can take the sayings of a person whose whole message was love and tolerance and turn it into a message of ,if not downright hate then ostracism and bigotry.

jesus did not sit down with good upright church leader or I should say synagoge lieaders. he sat with prostitutes and thieves. he accepted them and tryed to lead and influence them.

I do not recall him throwing stones or condeming any that did not follow him.

If a person teaches ANY kind of hate or intolerance I believe that is a clue to the type of person that he of she REALLY is.

while you can find pearls of wisdom or maybe a clue to help you along your path in the most unexpected and surprising places, I believe you must examine anyone who claims to lead or in some way indicates that his or her message is the way to do things correctly for signs (or open statements ) of intolerance ,oppresion, ostracism or anything else that points to another group and says " BAD BAD.These are the evil ones we must cure or kill". Maybe not in that language.

Personaly, I cannot stand hip hop and ....well a list of other things, but I will not try to stop you from doing anything that you enjoy if it is not hurting me.

So in closing,,,,,,,,,,,I think I will get my girlfriend a sponge bob costume and then f**k the hell out of her just to through a little more chaos and confusion into the universe as a whole.

p.s. bone, the tolerance does not extend to you. I am still going to slap you silly every time I see you.. giigle giggle. love ya guy....

I agree. Anarchism means without larger rule by man. If someone were to follow the word of God on the basis that they are just good ideas and everyone were like that it stands to reason that it would be okay. Unfortunately for him he has picked two belief systems that most can't see a conection with making it even harder for others to understand.
