Who ARE these people?

Here's a reason I'm embarassed to be an American sometimes....

I have a feeling I'll be getting lots of journal fodder from the wedding web sites.....

There was (is) this big long thread about homophobia happening on the Wedding Channel. Basically one woman said she didn't want to invite a lesbian and her partner to her wedding because she doesn't believe in homosexuality. Basically, she, like other homophobes, finds it "icky" and doesn't want icky people around her. So this HUGE thread started about homophobia, and for the most part it's been really quite civilized. And, as a pleasant surprise to me, most people told this woman (from the sounds of her posts, she is quite young....) that she is wrong in her homophobia, and that it's actually a dangerous thing.

OK. So, she starts a threat to snark at the people who have been "mean" to her. She has a picture of Britney in her sig file...and the conversation actually has degenerated to whether it's true that Britney and Justin have broken up. I cannot fucking believe that women who are old enough to marry actually give a shit about the love life of celebs...let alone a teen queen! But that is SO American. We care about celebs getting married, we gush over them reproducing as though they were our own family member. It's gross. It's really gross.
