Am I being over sensitive?

'Miracle Gay'. Not big and not clever. More immature and damaging, actually. If I thought it were a comment on how over the top the gay jokes are and the fact that it comes across as vaguely homophobic, then maybe. But I really don't get that feeling, I think it's more of the 'it's so gay' that's hurting young LGBT people so badly.

I have mixed feelings about people on Facebook having a go at my opinions. One of my more geeky techie friends says it's not my page, I don't own it, it's a feed. So I tend to leave the comments unless they are offensive.

One of my relatives who works in film, so has hundreds of friends, made a comment on his fb page that his wife, who has a different surname, disagreed with. Someone weighed in against her with all these personal comments, really insulting her clearly trying to ingratiate themselves with him. So their teenaged daughter went on and said "stop insulting my mother on my father's Facebook page" That really did make me laugh, people are just so unthinking when they get on to social media sometimes.

However despite the issue of people maybe being rude to you on your own Facebook page, I totally agree with the cringing at fans using this as some sort of solidarity against MD. GDL may even love MD, I'm sure it means nothing about that show at all. I hate the way some fans keep embarrassing themselves. From AGA T shirts, to those SIJ manifestos, it's just mortifying.
