Earlier today, Nickelodeon tweeted a post honouring the LGBTQIA community and celebrating pride month. All of the characters mentioned in this tweet were featured in rainbow hues.
Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month 🌈

Yup, you heard that right, a lot of fan theories suggest that SpongeBob might be gay and the cartoon channel might have just unofficially announced his coming out.

However, Nickelodeon disabled comments on their tweet after their mic drop moment. But we could not be happier!

Netizen’s reaction to SpongeBob’s unofficial coming out tweet is everything:
Announcing Spongebob being gay then turning comments off cause it ain’t no debate>>>

I watched Spongebob when I was a kid.

Never once did I consider him gay or straight.
Never once did I consider there was anything sexual about him at all.
Why?
Because I was a child, watching a children’s show, AND HE’S A SPONGE.
I don’t care if Spongebob is gay, straight, bi, or poly he taught me that “I’m ugly and I’m proud” for that I owe him my life

Well, here’s to hoping that SpongeBob is celebrating pride month and hosting various pride parades in Bikini Bottom.
