Robin Williams' gay cartoon protest at Academy Awards
Before Robin Williams presented the Best Animated Feature award at the Academy Awards last night, he paused to remove a large piece of white tape from his mouth, then proceeded to mock those who are connecting cartoon characters with pro-gay messages. "They tell me now that SpongeBob is gay. SquarePants is not gay. Tight pants maybe. SpongeBob Hot Pants? You go, girl!" We've told you about Dobson and others going after SpongeBob SquarePants claiming the character was designed "to desensitize very young children to homosexual and bisexual behavior." Williams went on to suggest suggested other cartoon characters throughout history may also have been gay. "What about Donald Duck? Sailor top, no pants. Hello?" Williams said. "Bugs Bunny. More dresses than J. Edgar Hoover at Mardi Gras. Hello?" Williams concluded.
