Facebook status'gay joke'

[Pix]

I once enjoyed talking about Disney characters with a handful of people online (I was there maybe 2 weeks) and it somehow got onto Bridge to Terabithia and their inevitable romance had the girl survived. I mentioned the problems of childhood and that if they got together too soon (which they likely would) then one was likely to seriously hurt the other and it could destroy their relationship, and even if they didn't most people grow apart as they grow up (even those early marriages are often called "practice" by the older & cynical for a better marriage later on). That got them to wondering how they could overcome the pitfalls of childhood & immaturity and I'd posted best case scenerio (even if the boy's dad didn't care for it) is that they're both gay, that would probably maximize their chances of being best friends forever. And it was deleted and I got a warning for "trolling." And that reminded me of how many people (unlike me) see being gay as a "bad thing." I never told them that I was gay myself, I just left without a word and years later I still haven't even visited that board even once, because if being gay is so horrible then that meant I'm horrible. (ETA: this board was nearly all adults, the only exception I know of being a high schooler, and was also a few months after BtT came out in 2007, many of them parents upset over the girl dying followed by their kids crying, so it wasn't like I was on a board for kids, and in the warning I got from the site manager there was no "think of the children" message to go along with it.)

I just remembered!

A few days before I got my warning for my so-called trolling I saw that another poster had posted a pic (supposedly to complain about it when he was just making sure more saw it) from a Disney movie showing camel toe on a little girl (don't ask, it's not important and the actress might feel awkward about it today). I was sure it was fake as I'd seen the movie multiple times and never saw it (though to be fair, next time I saw it the camel toe really was there, it's just never occurred to me before to look at her crotch!). I was convinced that he was a troll who photoshopped it but even though I saw people say the pic was inappropriate it was not deleted as mine was. :o

Perhaps I should've asked about that before I left...didn't occur to me then as I resolved to never look at the thread again and I was so surprised when I got my musing deleted with a warning and just put the whole thing out of my mind until now...
