Christian Conservative groups have shown their true faces again, They're afraid of something they can't understand and are afraid that hearing about it might actually affect their children.
This is why come Christian Conservative groups have issued a gay alert warning against a video which is a remake of "We are Family". The video is to encourage tolerance and diversity. there are over 100 TV cartoon stars used in the video amongst them are SpongeBob, Barney, Winnie the Pooh, Bob the Builder and the Rugrats. The main character responsible for promoting homosexuality, according to the Christian groups, is SpongeBob Squarepants.
Now you wonder why exactly Spongebob is considered by those groups as the culprit, That's because he's always holding the hand of his friend Patrick.
Christian Conservative groups have issued a gay alert warning over a children's video starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and a host of other cartoon favorites.
The wacky square yellow SpongeBob is one of the stars of a music video due to be sent to 61,000 U.S. schools in March. The makers -- the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation -- say the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.
But at least two Christian activist groups say the innocent cartoon characters are being exploited to promote the acceptance of homosexuality.
Essentially in my opinion those Christian groups are in favor for diversity and tolerance as long as everybody are exactly like them.
People should never think of it as loving your neighbour, and just to be nice to each other. Put it differently, put a negative twist on it and hey you might get more extremists joining your group and they can all share their limited view on the world."
LOS ANGELES - Christian Conservative groups have issued a gay alert warning over a children's video starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and a host of other cartoon favorites.
The wacky square yellow SpongeBob is one of the stars of a music video due to be sent to 61,000 U.S. schools in March. The makers -- the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation -- say the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.
But at least two Christian activist groups say the innocent cartoon characters are being exploited to promote the acceptance of homosexuality.
"A short step beneath the surface reveals that one of the differences being celebrated is homosexuality," wrote Ed Vitagliano in an article for the American Family Association."
It's a well known fact that the gay community has staked their claim on Sponge Bob. I remember having a discussion with a gay co-worker/freind who enlightened me on this fact over a year ago. They do not endorse Tinky Winky though.
Perhaps Michael Jackson would have been a better pick for the video.
