The stars of the world’s favourite family cartoon married in a episode just recently shown in the US. They will use their honeymoon to comeand celebrate as part of the world’s largest gay and lesbian pride parade. Whilst here it is expected that they will participate in the parade, to be held on March 5, alongside fellow cartoon character, Spongebob Squarepants, who has recently been attacked by conservatives in the US for being too “gay-friendly”. The characters will be part of the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby float, which focuses on the importance of family within the gay and lesbian community. David Scamell, co-convenor, commented: “Characters like Patty and Spongebob Squarepants are attacked as being against family values.

It is about time that our families were recognised like all other families."
