Spongebob Squarepants Is Gay, Nickelodeon Reveals For Pride Month

Spongebob Squarepants Confirmed To Be Gay By Nickelodeon During Pride Month Celebration

The Pride Month Celebration is on and the newest to be revealed as a member of the LGBTQ+ community has got tongues wagging, setting a trend on social media. Alas! It’s the yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

On Saturday, Nickelodeon deemed it the right time to confirm many folks’ longtime suspicions that the character of Spongebob Squarepants from the series of the same name is gay.

Nickelodeon official page shared a post on Twitter celebrating Pride month, which included some photos of a few of their characters that are apart of the LGBTQ+ community. One of the photos depicted a rainbow-fied Spongebob smiling wide.

“Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month,” the network tweeted.

The post also includes pictures of Schwoz Schwartz from Henry Danger and Korra from the Avatar spin-off show Legend of Korra. Fans have known for ages that Korra is bisexual, as it was explicitly written into the show itself.

The character of Schwoz is played by actor Michael D. Cohen, who recently revealed himself to be a transgender man.

Below are some hilarious reactions on Twitter :
