Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has apparently left Twitter after becoming the subject of a series of Photoshopped images depicting her as homophobic. SFGate.com reports that the hashtag %TakeDownMillieBobbyBrown, which first appeared in November, has now resurfaced in June -- coinciding with the beginning of Pride Month. In reality, Brown is an active supporter of LGBT rights as well as an antibullying advocate. The 14-year-old is also active on social media, with millions of followers on both Instagram and Twitter.
