Ah, I see Creation is handling things with their usual sensitivity and eye toward avoiding controversy. What amazes me is that there was a large segment of the audience at a SPN convention who'd be willing to boo someone for a question about slashy subtext. Did they bus people in, or was it a Wincesters vs. Destiel thing?

tl/dr: never existed, says the person who initially misreported it.
I'm glad to hear that. The idea that Jensen would put an across-the-board moratorium about questions concerning his fictional character's sexuality and love life was frankly worrisome.
