Is SpongeBob SquarePants queer? Conservative parents and mischievous pre-teens have long thought so. Never mind the animated sea sponge’s sexuality, though. You know what makes SpongeBob queer? The bitchy little comments the background characters in Bikini Bottom always have ready to go. Only a diva could come up with a read like “Hey pal, you just blown in from stupid town?” – and that’s why this Nickelodeon classic is an appropriate theme for Aira Juliet and the Little Gay Shop’s bimonthly trivia game. Head to Wanderlust’s Shady Lane location if nautical nonsense be something you wish. – Carys Anderson
