What were some Sup Forums related events that impacted you for the worse? How did you deal with it?
The only one I can really remember is when Ellen Page came out as gay. In fact, I remember that day pretty vividly.
It was a school day, and I had just finished some stupid class in twelfth grade. When I got home from my classes, I discovered that I was home alone, my mom had a doctors appointment that day. I decided to turn on the TV and make myself a sandwich. I only really watched the news, so naturally I immediately changed the channel to the CBC. As I was making my meal, the news anchored reported that Ellen Page had came out as a lesbian at some LBGT rally.
I audibly screamed the word "fuck" and took of my shirt and continued to scream for another 3 min until the neighbors decided to come over and make sure I was alright. I said that I was listening to some metal music. For the rest of that day I walked alone around my neighborhood, and eventually to a nearby lake. I walked along the shore, empty, only to discover a rose floating in the water, by itself.
I realized that day that my dream of marrying Ellen Page and giving her a single rose under the moonlight in the rural area of Nova Scotia was just that, a dream.
Since that day, I have avoided her movies like the plague. Not because I'm homophobic, but because I got very pissed off whenever I saw her knowing that I will never get to give her that single rose. Unfortunately, yesterday I caught the end of Whip It! on TV and once again, I am wishing that she wasn't gay, so that I could give her that one rose.
I was and still am happy for her for having the courage to come out as a homosexual, however, since that day whenever I see a single rose, lying in a field, covered in morning dew, ready to wither away any moment - I can only equate that symbol to be a metaphor for my heart: empty, alone, desolate, and delicate: ready to end any moment.
