==Plot:==
Sandy, Patrick, and Squidward are gathered around SpongeBob's closet, trying to pull him out of the fallen clothes and hangers. After SpongeBob awakens, he tells them his life flashed before his eyes. He also thought of the things he never did, like jump out of a plane, or climb a mountain. He said he realised something about himself. He reveals he is gay, causing Squidward to panic and leaves SpongeBob's house. They wonder why Squidward left in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Squidward is scared of SpongeBob, revealing his cousin was gay, and it scared the hell out of him. He then realises that SpongeBob is his friend and should support him for who he is, but is still scared by even looking at the house.
After arriving to work, he reveals his secret to Mr. Krabs. He says its alright to be gay as long as you're happy. He then draws several posters advertising the Krusty Krab as a place of tolerance and understanding, using it as a way to bring in customers.
On the way back home, he meets up with Patrick. He asks him if he's okay with his homosexuality, to which he says he's perfectly okay with it. SpongeBob than asks him to go on a date with him, to which Patrick agrees.
