SpongeBob a Gay Conspiracy?
The maker of a video starring SpongeBob SquarePants is rejecting claims from conservative Christian groups that say his work is an effort to promote homosexuality.
The groups say the problem isn't with the video itself, but the organization behind it. They say the producers are exploiting popular children's characters to push a gay and lesbian agenda, and are urging parents to stay away from it.

But the video's creator told NBCs "Today" show that it's all a case of mistaken identity.
Nile Rodgers, who co-wrote the song "We are Family," says conservative Christians are confusing his group, the We Are Family Foundation, with another organization with a similar name.
He says his group and video are "not pro-homosexual" and have "nothing to do with sexuality."
