Nickelodeon may or may not have confirmed that SpongeBob is gay last weekend, but what about Squidward? "For bisexual fans of the show, Squidward is coded queer representation," says Joseph Longo, adding: "It’s a common belief among SpongeBob SquarePants fans that most of Bikini Bottom may be queer. Patrick Star in booty shorts, fishnets and patent leather boots is a circuit-party gay; Sandy Cheeks is a power STEM lesbian."
