Ann Marie and dimension on ABC News

Rowan · 07-08-2010, 06:05 PM

I don't know if anyone posted about this yet or not, didnt find anything, but I was reading weird universe and ran across this ABC News article that in the blurb it mentioned Donna, but then I went into the article and I was delighted to see that they got comments from other people as well...namely our lovely Ann Marie!

I think there was a thread about this, And that they took her comments out of context. If this is the same article.

This was the quote from Ann Marie:

AnnMarie, who runs a BBW web site told ABCNews.com she is not a gainer, but defends the privacy of a plus-size world.

"We're just large people trying to navigate a world that is not built for us, in social lives that are set up to belittle and degrade us, and we try to maintain happiness, dignity, love, jobs, families," she wrote. "We're only different because we aren't apologizing for who we are. We're only different because others want to keep making us feel that way."

I dont think it was all that out of context

Ann herself said so herself that the comments presented on the show were taken out of context. search her past postings and you'll find it
