Wedding help desperately needed!!!
DataLounge, I could BADLY use your assistance. Here's the deal: I’m getting married in a few months at a destination wedding in Costa Rica, and I 'm thrilled to have my four closest friends in the wedding. I'm a straight woman, but as a longtime queer ally, all of said friends are queer men! Sometimes I can feel myself getting too frantic about minute details that only I would care about, but all my "bridesmaids" have been incredibly patient and kind. I thought I just had the greatest friends in the world, but then I got a misdirected email from one bridesmaid to another. The email excerpted one of my mass emails to the other boys and mocked me relentlessly for being a "bridezilla"! I'm "too detail-oriented, too demanding and too self-centered about my wedding." It is obvious these are running jokes among the bridal party, and I am DEEPLY offended!!!
I doubt the writer has realized his mistake. Since then, I’ve been too furious to talk to any of them, and in my moments of greatest anxiety I’ve even considered postponing the wedding or telling them I can no longer afford a bridal party. Do you think I should confront them?

Move the event to the People’s Temple in Jonestown, Guyana and make it a themed wedding.

R4, I don't follow? My friends said they've "reclaimed" queer!

You should definitely invite all your girlies for a lovely dinner at your favorite restaurant.
Between cocktails and dinner, you should thank them for coming, tell them how excited you are for the wedding, but before that you wanted to clear one thing up.
Oh, and make sure you have your wedding videographer there already set up.

True allies never use the Q word.
Do you use the N word around black folks OP?

R6 tell your friends to try to "reclaim" the other horrible words used against the rainbow community over the past decades = pedophile, child molester & man-hater (for the lesbians).
Get back to us in a few weeks with the results.

Lifted straight from Carolyn Hax's column in this morning's paper (less the "friend of the gays" bullshit).
Whwn are we going to get a better class of troll around this joint?

A fucking destination wedding with 4 QuEeRs as bridesmaids and an already DEEPLY offended QuEeR ally bridezilla. Sounds HORRIBLE.

Bridey is not a queer ally, shes just a good old fashioned FAG HAG

As R12 pointed out, this shit was in today’s WaPo without the queer embellishments.
Fuck off, OP troll.

Worse, the Hax column is a reprint and is originally from 2010.

You ain’t my ally. And I’m not yours.

R19, my pronouns are "she/her" or "they/them," but I do NOT acknowledge the dated "f*g hag" title!!! I have stated my boundaries! (Even though that cunt at WaPo brazenly lifted my question for her column today.)

Move it along, Toots. Your EST is a fail. Try Reddit. Or Bored Panda.

A straight woman that has no female friends is a major red flag.

Your stories all across the same. Help!.... queer....... someone has done something to me. Try and come up with a few new lines. As soon as I start reading before I am at the end of the first sentence I know it's you.
