That’s probably not what Squidward had in mind when he asked SpongeBob for a hand.Īlso, can we take a moment to appreciate this show’s portrayal of butts? Squidward couldn’t have gotten those just by exercising. Maybe SpongeBob should’ve been less invasive though. So not only do we have that wrist, we also have that scene with Squidward. Maybe future generations can learn from our mistakes. Really, generating a rainbow is the only correct answer to “how gay are you?”, we should’ve thought about that sooner. Instead of having that awkward talk with your acquaintances, maybe try producing a rainbow to express gayness. It would also make coming out stories way more fun. Burn those papers, honey !Ĭreating a rainbow with a hand gesture – you literally cannot get any gayer than that. Krabs “Am I a pretty girl?” SpongeBob was never tied to gender roles. There’s also that episode where SpongeBob asks Mr. Just like we saw in the episode where he adopts a baby clam with Patrick, SpongeBob was never afraid to do some gender-bending.
One thing that made SpongeBob so great was his non-binary identity. It took time but we’re finally here and we couldn’t be more proud of SpongeBob for taking this big step. It’s not always easy to come out of the closet. It took more than twenty years for the truth (and SpongeBob) to come out.

It really feels like Nickelodeon’s tweet shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, doesn’t it? Finally out Whether it was partying with some jellyfish or just striking this iconic pose, SpongeBob was always giving queer vibes. SpongeBob was giving us all types of signature moves during the 2000s. It was right in front of us this whole time! There’s no denying SpongeBob was bringing some attention to same sex couples raising a baby together. Finally, SpongeBob calls out Patrick for being misogynous by not helping SpongeBob enough with their baby clam. Second, SpongeBob & Patrick act as a couple as soon as they adopt the clam. First of all, we have SpongeBob wearing more female-coded clothes. Remember that episode when SpongeBob & Patrick have a baby clam? That episode has a lot to unpack. We know at the bottom of our hearts that SpongeBob was never gender conforming. It’s still easy to see accept SpongeBob as a queer character. We’ve had our fair share of companies trying to make a profit out of the LGBTQ community so it wouldn’t be a surprise if Nickelodeon was queerbaiting us as well.
We finally have the confirmation we were waiting for when Nickelodeon tweeted a picture of SpongeBob to celebrate Pride. While the show never cared to show SpongeBob’s orientation, we knew he was comfortable having non-binary traits.
Here are some memes to prove that SpongeBob is queer royalty. SpongeBob has never been afraid to express his identity and for that, we feel honored to welcome him in the LGBTQ community.
