FRED & BARNEY AREN'T GAY, OK?!
This just in from Newsweek. More paranoid Conservative assholes are feeling the need to call more cartoon characters gay. As in this stunning example of idiocy.
"Fred and Barney should be banned because they are virtually inseparable, are never seen wearing pants and live together in the suggestively-named town of Bedrock, complains a conservative activist.
He also noted that the two men work together at a quarry wearing hard hats and construction garb, an oblique reference to the construction worker in the classic disco band 'The Village People.'"
They don't live together. And the Village People didn't even EXIST for over a decade AFTER the Flintstones were around!
In closing the homophobic, (likely gay himself) Conservative moron Harland Devane had this to say on behalf of his group: "We are very uncomfortable with Fruity Pebbles"

My bad, thanks for pointing that out.
But seriously, in a world where Spongebob, a cartoon character that doesn't even exist, is accused of homosexuality... easy to forget how to read the header... uh... yeah.
Man do I feel stupid.

It seems that the homosexual cartoon meme has spread everywhere. Salon recently outed a bunch of cartoon characters is an earlier article.

So did Cartoon Brew. Among those named were Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepus (natch), and Popeye for some reason.

I found it shocking to find that Velma was straight.

Ditto. Also, it makes sense, but I never thought of Daphne being bi. Those crazy hipsters and their chic bisexuality.
