According to the website they never claimed Spongebob was gay:

"My brief comments at the FRC gathering were intended to express concern not about SpongeBob or Big Bird or any of their other cartoon friends, but about the way in which those childhood symbols are apparently being hijacked to promote an agenda that involves teaching homosexual propaganda to children."
Has anyone seen the Laurel and Hardy movie 'Their First Mistake'? In it the hapless duo get comfortable on a bouble bed, where they decide to adopt a baby! And this was 1932! I bet Focus on the Family would have something to say about this too.
I don't know what 'homosexual propaganda' was being taught in this video but there seems to be a trend for certain groups towards decrying anything that doesn't conform to the way they want society to be. And with an administration which 'moral' Americans were recently encouraged to believe thought the same way they do, they're only going to become more confident. There's been some successes reported this side of the Atlantic: the 'wardrobe malfunction' resulting in a large fine,
the decision not to screen Saving Private Ryan on Veteran's Day (more distressing because it was censored preemptively based on what the reaction might be), the boycott of 'Alexander' in the bible belt states.
