Soap Opera Culture Reflects Changing Trends in Contemporary Marriage

Hi All,

Considering our new topic of class discussion which will begin tomorrow, I couldn't help but pay attention to the video news bite posted on CNN.Com just yesterday. You can view the video clip at http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2009/02/16/am.lo.lesbian.wedding.cnn?iref=videosearch

Soap opera programs mirror (in often exaggerated ways) trends in contemporary American society. The first lesbian wedding in soap opera culture aired this week and I have chosen to post the brief clip here and invite your reflections and analysis.

See you in class and on the blog!
