Back in June, Nickelodeon took to Twitter to celebrate Pride Month by sharing photos of LGBTQ+ characters from some of its most popular series.
In the tweet that blew up social media, the network shared three photos featuring transgender actor Michael D. Cohen from “Henry Danger”, Avatar Korra, from “The Legend of Korra”, who is bisexual, and the beloved SpongeBob SquarePants.
Many Twitter users felt it was confirmation that SpongeBob is part of the queer community, prompting the hashtag #SpongeBobIsGay to start trending.
