SpongeBob SquarePants' sexuality has entered the chat -- and lo and behold, the Bikini Bottom dweller is, as many suspected for years, gay.

Nickelodeon officially made the reveal Saturday in a tweet shouting out Pride month (June), and attaching photos of three of their canon characters as a clear indicator that they're all part of the LGBTQ+ community ... but without actually saying it outright.

The studio writes, "Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month .⁣" All of the characters -- which include Sponge, Schwoz Schwartz from 'Henry Danger,' and Korra from the 'Avatar' spin-off show 'Legend of Korra' -- are featured in a rainbow color background, further signaling they are, in fact, part of the community

Fans have known for a while Korra was gay/bisexual -- as it was revealed in the show itself and actually written into the script. Again, not so much with words ... but just action.

As for Schwoz, the actor who plays him -- Michael D. Cohen -- is a transgender man in real life ... something that wasn't revealed until recently. He transitioned decades ago. Now, when it comes to the Krusty Krab fry cook ... well, let's just say folks had their suspicions for a long time now. If you know, you know ... we won't break it down for boomers.

Funny enough, Nickelodeon AND the series creator Stephen Hillenburg came out firmly in the early 2000s and explicitly said SBSP was NOT gay ... but asexual. Change of heart?

Nothing is sacred if it's in the name of pandering, I suppose. I don't think they actually meant he is gay, but it's gonna be pretty funny if the fundies turned out to be right.

They put Spongebob on a pride flag in June.

I fail to see how this actually counts as proving the fundies right.

Unless they actually show Spongebob as gay in an episode, I'll chalk this up as typical Pride Month advertiser pandering more than anything else.

Mr. Hillenburg is rolling in his grave.

Also, shouldn’t they give him the Ace flag instead? Oh wait! I thought people didn’t care asexuals

 

[Uncle Warren]

They took a sponge and turned it gay.

A sponge.

 

[Dysnomia]

I haven't seen Spongebob in ages. But I thought he liked Sandy?

 

[The Last Stand]

Whoever wrote that article is gay.

Why do people care about the sexuality of a cartoon sponge in the first place? As far as I can tell, Spongebob doesn’t seem sexually attracted to anyone.

But kids are attracted to him, so he's in heaven. So is Nickelodeon.

That's what the creator said back during the G.W. Bush administration:

We never intended them to be gay. I consider them to be almost asexual. We’re just trying to be funny and this has got nothing to do with the show.

That'll make you feel sad for the era we live in. Fuck.

Tell me something I don't know. It's obvious that his behavior around the starfish was very fruity. This theory has been around since it's creation.

To rub it in people’s faces that they think hate gay people.

Cum sponge

I wish Steve could come alive again just to beat whomever is trying to make gay Spongebob canon.

Also, Nickelodeon released this around Ramadan on Twitter:

I find it funny how corporations will bend over backwards to support one of the most anti-gay religions in the world and then talk about gay rights a few weeks later.

Spongebob should've had died when the creator died. Actually, a couple years before. There's no soul in the show anymore.
