Right on, Robin Williams!

Someone is taking on the right-wingers who take on fictional characters!
"They tell me now that SpongeBob is gay. SquarePants is not gay. Tight pants maybe. SpongeBob Hot Pants? You go, girl!"

Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants was among cartoon characters featured in a pro-diversity initiative of the We Are Family Foundation. James Dobson, founder of the religious conservative group Focus on the Family, complained that the motive for using SpongeBob was "to desensitize very young children to homosexual and bisexual behavior."

Williams suggested that other cartoon characters through history also might have been gay and he didn't spare Disney icons, although Disney-owned ABC was airing the awards show.

"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.
He then went on to impersonate leading actors and directors who star in cartoons and those that should!
