Topic: Spongebob Squarepants is confirmed gay.

Anonymous A started this discussion 5 years ago #101,584

Bye bye to one of the more known asexual characters in circulation. There is hardly any asexual representation in the media and given how the media is so dedicated to diversity it surprises me that there aren't more asexual characters. Given they are a minority, but so is practically the rest of the LGBTQ community. Representation is about giving minority groups presentation regardless of how small they may be. The transgender community is starting to get a lot of representation and they only make up around 0.5% of the U.S. population.

And while some fans thought Nickelodeon was confirming that SpongeBob is gay -- although they didn't specify what our favorite yellow sponge identifies as -- the network could possibly be referring to the "A" in "LGBTQIA."

The "A" stands for Allies as in heterosexuals who support the community.

So maybe he's just an ally?

The letters LGBTQIA refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual or allied.

That's not how letters work.

If they want to be hip they should just call it the LGBTQ²IA².

Ok and then the next thing in the search result said that the a meant asexual.

You're being really obtuse about this. The article you cited even explained the network didn't confirm that he was gay.

What?? Didn't he have a crush on the female squirrel? edit: okay he's probably an ally, but this seems like a move to sell more merch honestly

You can be gay and asexual

That is because you can still be aroused by men while not sexually interested?

@previous (A)
what? Asexual means you don't experience arousal. It doesn't always mean you don't want romantic connections.

The use of "allyship" is actually a safeguard for closeted people, who can't come out, but are "allied with them" in lieu of being out. It's not *actually* for straight people.
