"Ewww that person I used to think was cool has suddenly revealed they were gay/lesbian this whole time! This has totally changed my outlook on them because everything they did in the past that appeared normal on the outside was actually dirty and wrong! The wool has finally be pulled from over my eyes! I see the light! BURN THE FILTH!"

Yeah this doesn't surprise me at all. Homophobic people are really weird in that for some reason once a person reveals their homosexuality, everything they did in the past changes from 'something normal' to 'ew something gay'.

[this is sarcasm]She drank a soda once! OMG GAY SCARY DIRTY NO. The fact that her consumption of soda is the same as everyone else's the fact I know she likes members of the same sex automatically makes the way she drinks soda a sin on mankind![/this is sarcasm]

I'd laugh hysterically if I didn't realize those responses weren't a joke. I'll just facepalm really hard instead.

It bothers me when people are so ignorant like that. I mean, I don't believe in what they are doing, but I really don't care about how they use their own lives. We can't just ignore people for what they believe in, even if other don't. It's like saying 'Oh, you like sweet potato fries? Well that's not normal or what everyone else believes in. Cause you know, everyone should eat french fries.'
it's the same thing! Just with a twist!

And besides, it's not like their childhood was 'ruined'. Their childhood is, was, and always will be the way it was when it happened. This would only added on the list of 'Fun Facts' about shows that you use to watch. And honestly if anything, something to ruin your childhood would be creepypasta, NOT finding out your childhood role model was gay/lesbian.

Either way, I cannot complain too much because, like I said, people are so ignorant and dumb that the whole world is just crashing down on us. Just let Raven be herself, and no one should tell her or anyone like her any different.

This kinda stuff is hardly rare. I mean I see it in my everyday life. I'll be goods friends with someone and they'll find out I'm gay, then they want nothing to do with me. It's happened quite a few times.

I'm proud of her though, being able to have the courage to come to her friends. I hardly see how this would ruin anyone's childhood. I mean, she was playing a character, who happened to be straight. Just because Neil Patrick Harris played Barney, that doesn't make him straight. Is the same thing.

Who is Raven?

Also, it's more of a shock than anything. When I found out some of the celebrities I know were gay. I was more shocked than annoyed.

Raven was a actor for a teen/kids show in 2003. That's So Raven. She played a straight girl that was psychic. Her now revealing she is lesbian has made homophobic people rage. I think she was also in other movies and series. She was popular with Toon Disney, I think.

Exactly, but people say their childhood is ruined whenever there's a twist, revealing something sad/sexual/horrible/mental/shocking from the show later on. In this case, it's one of the actors coming out, which shouldn't ruin your childhood, the proper response for that would be more like "Oh. Would you look at that." and that's it. Apparently, that's too hard for a lot of people.

I never understood the "my childhood is ruined" saying anyway, its so fricken stupid.
But if things like that can ruin your childhood, wouldn't her having sex with either gender ruin your childhood and your view of her?

^ Mind if I quote that whenever someone pulls the "ruined childhood" card? I seriously wanna see someone reacting to that.



But anyway, some people are just different, and if you're bothered by that you should just ignore them. Some stupid people really need to learn that.

If you were paying attention to the posts, you would know that Shadria just answered your question.

It's really none of their business what her sexuality is or what she decides to do with it. Her body, her life, get over it and move on. It's even worse because now she's suddenly a bad person because she is a lesbian. In my opinion, said fans aren't really "fans" if they're that bothered by a minor detail.

Don't really feel anything towards this, but it is kinda shocking. I used to watch the show allot and I liked it when I was young. But damn.

Is it weird that the first thing that came to mind at the thread title was Teen Titans yuri fanfiction?

Also, all the mega social networking sites could implode without me noticing. Give me a small, independantly operated forum dedicated to a specific fandom any day.

Wow. |: I just lost a lot of the respect I've had for you for quite some time.

The point ------>


Your head: \O/

"lol I don't know this famous person so I don't care :3" is callous when the thread topic at hand isn't supposed to be just about the famous person themselves but the fact people have responded negatively to a star they watched a lot as a child revealing themselves to be gay. And that they take that revelation as destroying their childhood as if that person went from looking like a wonderful little person and their sexuality suddenly revealed them to be a demon in disguise. A lot of people probably thinking "GASP. My children/I liked that show she was in! They/I've been tainted and must therefore abandon any affection I had for said program! It's ew and saturated in poisonous gay germs!" That is the topic of this thread. People are calling 'childhood ruined' because someone revealed they were gay all this time. As if all of a sudden that revelation has changed the show at all.

It hasn't, and these people are stupid. It's beyond ignorant and wrong when a group of people is treated like crap because religion says they're wrong and that people will openly mock anyone, not just a star, for coming out. Just because someone famous is involved doesn't make it a problem you should just shrug off and laugh at.

And this comes from someone who could care less about famous people for the most part. They're just like everyone else so I don't care if they had a baby, if they're wearing the latest fashion, or if they're dating someone new. However, when they get hate for revealing their sexuality, you bet I'll step up to call the homophobes idiots and not just go 'lol, don't know em so don't care'. Just because she's gay does not mean it's changed who she is. She just revealed something she'd known about herself for years. No one should mock or take offense at that revelation.
