ok get this, according to the US Conservative Church (ooops alanna you shouldn't be reading this if you are gonna get offended, its just a summary of news) and the spin doctors at focus on family, they declared that Spongebob and Muppets are pro-homosexuals and are trying to brainwash the kids. the video in question is actually an animated film to the tune of "We Are Family" (a song in 1979) a song that promotes tolerance.

The music video, which was created with the aim of promoting tolerance of others and featuring cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, came under fire from Focus on the Family and several other US religious groups, who charge that the "pro-homosexual video" is an attempt to "brainwash" kids.

The DVD of the music video is set to be mailed out to US elementary schools along with educational lesson plans developed in collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League and a "tolerance pledge" that includes a mention of tolerance for different sexual identities. Barney, Clifford, Arthur, characters from Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, Bill Cosby, Diana Ross and Whoopi Goldberg also appear in the footage.

Meanwhile, Nile Rodgers, a veteran musician who co-wrote the song and produced the video said that he is shocked that some conservatives see his efforts as an effort to encourage homosexuality. He says that the video does not make any reference to homosexuality or any sexual orientation anywhere.
