A New Member Of The LGBTQ Community: SpongeBob Squarepants!

Ya know I had always wondered - because many times across his 20 year TV life cycle, I watched SpongeBob's eyes literally fall out of his head after calling both genders "Beautiful!"

Well, now Nickelodeon has made it official with a Tweet that read: 

"Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month," the tweet reads.

Then #SpongeBobIsGay started trending as many decided the tweet was confirmation of the character's sexuality.
