SpongeBob and his pals are part of a long tradition of children's cartoon characters with camp resonance. Scooby Doo's Thelma, the Powerpuff Girls, Peppermint Patty, and even Betty Boop -- all have that certain something. For some gay men, these over-the-top characters are innocent in-jokes borrowed from the mainstream media from right under the noses of clueless straight people.

This is part of the left's 'we're smarter than you' mantra, and it's just so much Barbra Streisand. Fond a straigh person who cares that Betty Boop has been hijacked by the gay community. Who cares? Siezing an accepted cultural icon to deflect scrutiny from oneself would seem to me to be some sort of pathology, the work of a person utterly devoid of their own persona.

Being gay means many things, but mostly it means giving up on and not even trying to have a normal relationship (because of an overwhelming fear of failure).

This fear is what makes so many gays angry and self-destructive (Rosie, Elton John, et. al)

"Siezing an accepted cultural icon to deflect scrutiny from oneself would seem to me to be some sort of pathology, the work of a person utterly devoid of their own persona."

But seizing an accepted cultural icon to entice young children to one's lifestyle could be a motive. They cannot reproduce, so they recruit.

Well, I'm no psycologist, but it is pretty obvious to me that homosexual men identify themselves with women, yet they hate women at the same time. Therefore they choose icons that are cariactures of women with whom to identify.

They like the Powerpuff Girls and Betty Boop as cartoons. They like Barbra Streisand, Liza Manelli, Dolly Parton as entertainers (I suppose because they are somewhat fake looking and easy to dress up as for Haloween).They like old "Wonder Woman", "Charlie's Angels" and "Golden Girls" re-runs.

I don't fully understand why, but who can get into a sick mind anyway. Who wants to?

Excellent post.
