Who is SpongeBob?

A yellow sea sponge whose house is a colossal pineapple

Lives in Bikini Bottom on the bed of the Pacific Ocean

Best friend is pink starfish called Patrick

Likes winding up his neighbour, Squidward Tentacles

Goes to Mrs Puff's Boating Educational facility

He holds hands with his pink best friend, lives in an underwater pineapple and gets boating lessons from a teacher called Mrs Puff.

SpongeBob may be "kind of special", but he was not designed to be a queer character, his originator Stephen Hillenburg has told the Wall Street Journal.

The gay collective likes the reveal because it has a tolerant attitude, Mr Hillenburg said.

"Everybody is different, and the show embraces that. The character SpongeBob is an oddball. He's kind of weird, but he's kind of special,"
