I received this nonsense in my inbox yesterday.

Please remove pictures from private party from your website. These were retrieved from my facebook without permission.
Thanks,
Holly

She was referring to this post and these photos, where no one is identified...



Yes, it was Itawamba Agricultural High School's private party, where student Constance McMillen was not invited, but sent to a prom for pariahs in Fulton, MS, that includes in their minds, gay folks and the learning disabled. Given Holly, who is clearly less wise than her years compared to Constance, is unclear about the world of social media, I decided to do a little email teach-in.

<snip>

Perhaps I'd consider taking them down if you and your friends, and your parents publicly apologize to all of the students sent to the "other" prom as pariahs.

1. Irony is dead. The African-American girl in the top photo is the
person who would have been dis-invited not so long ago!

... who signed the petition against Marriage Equality was a white woman married to a black man.

Conservatives lack the gene to recognize irony, sarcasm, satire or hypocrisy.

It shields them from the cognitive dissonance that would otherwise make their tiny little brains explode.

3. I guess that whole
"bullying" lesson just flew over their, their parents, their teachers, their principals their school boards their attorneys and last, but most assuredly not least -their PREACHERS - ugly little heads.

4. Thanks for Sharing
Maybe these photos should show up all over the Net so we won't forget the evil spirited people who excluded others from their precious little prom.

5. A movie about this would be a great sequel to Footloose.
John Lithgow reprising his role as preacher, but this time having grown Liberal and accepting.

Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer as the parents of the lesbian teen.

Lots of singing, dancing and montages.
