NEW YORK -- The maker of a video starring SpongeBob SquarePants is rejecting claims from conservative Christian groups who say his work is an effort to promote homosexuality.
The groups say the problem isn't with the video itself, but the organization behind it. They say the producers are exploiting popular children's characters to push a gay and lesbian agenda, and are urging parents to stay away from it.
But the maker of the video said that it's all a case of mistaken identity.
Niles Rodgers, who co-wrote the song "We are Family," says conservative Christians are confusing his group, the We are Family Foundation, with another organization with a similar name.
He said his group and the videos are "not pro-homosexual" and have "nothing to do with sexuality."
Spongebob can't be gay, he's got a girlfriend, that squirrel from Texas.
But, wait a minute....she's awfully butch. Maybe they just pretend to be dating so know one will know...
