Listen shit-for-brains, my point has nothing to do with "converting" kids to be gay. It has to do with the appropriateness of foisting sexual issues on them at an early age (elementary school) - and doing so with cartoon characters at that. Children are already sexualized at an early age, which opens them up to problems like sexual abuse. At the very least, it is confusing to them.
If the point is to teach "tolerance" in general, there are ways to do this without delving into Barney fucking Sponge Bob up the ass. If you disagree, then you are free to use such learning aids to teach your children.
if the freakin' conservatives wouldn't made such a big deal out of it, you think the kids would've even noticed a sexual connotation to the fact that two buddies were holdin' hands?
Get a life, moron....
