Drama llama update

I had hoped this would've been a better solution, but the student-organized prom apparently had just 9 attendees.

My initial reaction was much like what essentialsaltes wrote above, but in this case I am quite happy to admit when I appear to be wrong.

It seems that many of those fellow students who gleefully attended the "secret" prom to which Constance was not invited put together a charming little Facebook page entitled Constance quit yer cryin, adorned with a picture of an unhappy baby. They posted pictures of themselves enjoying their own prom without her, and lots of comments such as Seriously, you've pretty much eff'd up your fellow classmate's best memory of High School and She doesn't deserve a public apology, better yet she should be the one giving the public apology to her classmates and No one really cares about the damn lesbo. Just everyone is sick of hearing about her. Its pretty ridiculous. Many other fellow students "like" these comments and/or posted similar comments themselves.

To get to those early hateful comments, however, one must scroll down for pages, past literally thousands of comments from people who joined the "fan" group just to criticize its creators and show support for Constance. A clear, nay, an overwhelming super-majority. (Including several posters from Mississippi, who objected to being lumped in with the homophobes.)

Very glad to be wrong. Thanks to ladyeuthanasia for the link!

From what little I know, there are a lot of people in Mississippi, including some local nearby townships, who just see this whole situation as being massively embarrassing and backward. I mean, they HAVE been integrating proms lately! It's like a new San Francisco!

To be honest, just always keep in mind that the Internet is absolutely NOT a perfect reflection of America, in any direction. Otherwise, we'd currently be saluting President Ron Paul.
