Is it true that I can get a violation because I approve of gay marriage?

It was aksed in marriage and divorce and we were polite and someone said we would be reported for our opinion.. It is insulting and a violation of freedom of speech. Nothing sexual was ever mentioned. I am a straight married lady and have many gay friends. It never says anything that the word gay is a bad word as long as it is not insulting.Is it true that I can get a violation because I approve of gay marriage?
I have never heard of anyone being reported %26amp; banned for this, and I'd find it rather appalling. I saw that thread and replied in it myself. If you or I were reported for it I'd have some serious doubts about the Quality Control people running things at YA HQ.Is it true that I can get a violation because I approve of gay marriage?
Sometimes if enough people flag you they give the violation just because its an automated system
l am not sure about that but you do have to walk easy around here @ yahoo.

Women in the late 18th century and Marriage?

During the late 18th century, women from wealthy class are usually required to marry those of the same class. And then a portrait is made of the women (if from wealthy class).





Is there any proof that shows this is true? Or is it not true?Women in the late 18th century and Marriage?
Most people in the late 18th century would marry those of their own class. Peole tended to mix socially with those of the same or similar background. Wealthy people would be likely to have their portraits painted, because it was the custom in those days, there were no photographs, and if you could afford to employ an artist to paint your portrait, it was a status symbol. A lot of people were amateur artists and would paint portraits of family members. Sketching and painting were considered ladylike accomplishments, and women in particular would often paint portraits of other family members.Women in the late 18th century and Marriage?
In the 18th century, women from all classes married those of the same class. This is how it was done. No laws or anything, just custom.





Portraits were made by wealthy families for all sorts of reasons. I have a portrait of my g-grandmother, painted when she was a child in the 1850-1860 time. She was in a wealthy family, but about the 7th child (3rd or 4th daughter). The portrait is high quality, although the name of the artist has been lost. Still, it was unusual to have such a painting done for someone so far down the list. She married a gentleman cleric, which is great, as their grandchild was my father, and without them, I wouldn't exist! There are no paintings that I am aware of showing them in their later years, although they lived long enough for photography, and I do have some of them.





Remember, the social patterns of this period were customs, not rules. There is little that is hard and fast. It is much like today - women get married (first marriages in any case) in white dresses. There is no rule, but that is what almost everyone does, a custom that began with Queen Victoria. I would guess if Diana had been wearing a blue dress when she married Prince Charles, and their marriage had lasted, that we would be seeing lots of blue wedding dresses today. Until fairly recently, people at weddings just wore their best clothes - little special at all.





However, you are correct in your observation that the women was under the man. She took his name, but he took her property, often as part of the marriage contract. In paintings of couples, often the man is sitting, and the woman is standing behind him. Again, not a rule, but a reflection of the custom of the times.
You mean find a textbook reference to that effect?





Can't do that for you.





BUT...if you looked in a reference book, i am betting you could find out what the average family ';lived'; on in the 1700's.





Bearing in mind the the non gentry usually lived on $100 dollars a year during the Civil War, you could then offer as fact that few if any families could spare the money needed for a portrait.





If you know someone in Art History, they might actually be able to tell you what a painting would cost back then.





But no,...I can't think of a single book that will produce your answer. but i can suggest several that could give a decent ballpark.





Not sure about the wearing/posture tradition...
look at the portraits. remember these woman had NO rights whats so ever. especially during the French Revolution. They had more rights before it that after. So if the portraits have a man and a woman who are dressed like aristocrats then they are both just that.

What do you think of the woman taking the man's last name in marriage?

If you are a married woman, did you do it? Why?





If you are an unmarried woman would you do it or not?





If you are a man, would you take your wife's last name? Do you want your wife to take your last name? Why?What do you think of the woman taking the man's last name in marriage?
I am getting married this summer, so I'll answer... I am taking my fiance's last name. Not only do I hate my last name and all the associations and memories it brings back... I just want to escape it. This is a new part of my life, a new beginning, and I don't want to keep my last name as a reminder of the past.What do you think of the woman taking the man's last name in marriage?
I actually disagree with this in principle. When I get married, I will take my partner's name, but this is only because I was adopted by my step dad when I was younger - the last name I have now isn't really my family name so under these circumstances I will.





I will never be a Mrs. or a Miss. I am, and will always be a Ms as I don't believe my name should give away whether I am married or not. And if you think about it, Mrs is just Mr's.
I hyphenated my name. I can go by either. I already had my children so no need to worry about what to name them. My son is from a previous relationship and he has my last name. My daughter is with my husband and she has his last name. I didn't want my son to be the only one with a different last name. I would have just kept my last name, but my husband pitched a hissy fit so I compromised.
This is a cultural thing. There is no law that says you have to but some people feel very strongly about it.





I was married and I took his name. But it was quite an adjustment. I'd had my maiden name for so many years, it was hard to get used to having a new one.
When I was married, my husband and I agreed we would take each others surnames and add them to the end of our names.





I didn't want to lose my family name, no more than that.





I don't see a problem with it, and I certainly do not see 'Mrs' and 'Mr's'. it's worse than history being HIS-story!
I'm not married, but I'd have no problem taking my husband's last name. I don't see any reason not to.





But I wouldn't knock any other woman for not doing so. If she wants to keep her name, then so be it.
I think a husband %26amp; wife should have the same last name whether they use his or her last name. The reason is; if they have children then they would all have the same family name. :)
She and the kids will take my last name. If she wants, she can keep her family name as her middle name, like Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hyphenation seems like someone trying to make a point.
I thought I wanted to. But I have plans for my life, so I want to be known by my maiden name. And my future hubby's name might not even match mine.
I'm married and we don't believe in following traditions that mean nothing to us.





We BOTH changed our names to completely merge them.
Woman don't want to be with men anymore from what i've seen.
I wouldn't take his last name. Why should his last name be more important than mine?
As I am already professionally established with my maiden name, I plan on keeping it.
ask ur husband
When I was marry I kept my last name I did not want to change it for professional reason.
If I get married I'd no problem with taking my man last name..

Is there anything like fake happiness in marriage?

have you acted in front of everyone even with husband that you are so much happy in marriage and one sudden day you will say you are not happy. is there anything like fake happiness? have you experienced that and why?Is there anything like fake happiness in marriage?
it isnt fake - either you trick yourself into believing you are happy when you aren't or you lie to others and tell them you are happy when you aren't.





Yes is the answer - why?





To avoid making others miserable. To save having to explain when you dont know why.Is there anything like fake happiness in marriage?
You are describing 99% of marriages





they are 100% FAKE





Look up divorce attorneys in the phone book...





There are more of them than plumbers and pizza parlors combined.
I don't have to fake happiness - I honestly like my marriage!

Do you oppose or support same sex marriage?

I am writing a paper on the evolution of American attitude towards same sex marriage and want your feedback. Do you support Gay Marriage? Only civil unions? Or not at all?Do you oppose or support same sex marriage?
I don't know why this bothers me so much, even though it doesn't affect me i just find it strange. I've been in the presence of a same sex couple and i just find it awkward when they make out, I know it's because i'm not used to it but i don't want to be.





I do believe in opposite sex marriages.


I'm sorry if you don't like it.Do you oppose or support same sex marriage?
If we are to have laws concerning marriage, we ought to figure out why we have those laws. We can't have the government in the business of people's personal affections and relationships unless there is an extremely good reason.





If two people in love cannot be happy unless they get a piece of paper from the government (a marriage certificate), then we need to get government out of the marriage business.
I do believe that people have the right to date who ever they want but, I have always been taught that a marriage its self should be between a man and a women. My family are big christians and that's what I have always heard at church and from them and I am not trying to force my religious beliefs on anyone at all I do not think any homosexual is lower than me because I treat everyone equal but, that's just my opinion on it we all think differently right?
I oppose. Although, I have no hard feelings towards gay people at all, because of my beliefs, it would make me a hypocrite to support gay marriage and to practice my religion.
Looking from a Law and Civil rights stand point, I support them.





But as for my life and my preference, I am against myself having one b/c of my beliefs.
Support.


Equal rights mean EQUAL. Not equal for some and unequal for others.


Anyone who does not support gay marriage is a loser.
oppose, they should have rights like any other couple, but not marriage, i mean they could call it something else. and as an adopted person i all so disagree with homosexuals adopting.
I oppose both homosexual marriage and homosexual civil unions. I feel both are unnatural.
Support. It doesn't take anything away from anyone elses' marriage.
I don't care for it,but I also don't really care what other people do.


Just keep it away from me and I won't bother them.
I DO NOT support gay marriage
I oppose it. Marriage is for men and women ONLY.

Do catholic men do anything sexual before marriage?

i have a new boyfriend who is catholic. We have been on two dates so far over space of three weeks and due to meet up on valentines day.we haven't kissed yet but are planning on valentines day. anyway I am thinking since he is religious, does that mean he'll only what to kiss? what are your thoughts...Do catholic men do anything sexual before marriage?
Short answer: yes.





It really depends on his level of commitment and how religious he is. My boyfriend is Catholic (so am I), and he grew up in a militant Catholic Household. BUT, he isn't very religious and after a few dates, we kissed, which eventually moved on to making out and fooling around which eventually became all out sex.





If he is extremely Catholic and wants to wait for marriage, he probably will be less likely to have sex. But, in truth, those guys are few and far between.





Don't be in such a rush to have sex though. Appreciate him taking things slow, and savor it. Guys like that are rare and he must really like you. Once you reach the next level, it changes things (for better or worse depending on the relationship) and you can never go back to those early days when everything was new and exciting.





Relationships get better with age, but it takes time to get to know someone. The better you know them, the better and more meaningful the sex will be.Do catholic men do anything sexual before marriage?
I dated a catholic boy .. it took 32 dates before I got a kiss and even that I initiated it. My guy was very shy and inexperienced (not that I had any experience, but I did know how to kiss). It is not good to date a shy guy because you are always have to take the lead in sex stuff and they are always over compensating by being too bossy outside the bedroom.
If he follows what the bible says than he'll wait till marriage. Cause that's a special gift you can give your husband/wife. And then you don't have to worry about diseases, or unwanted (teenage)pregnancy's. Then you will be doing what God wants you to do. Wait till your married, cause that's a real commitment. Not like just dating.
Religion is full of hypocrisy and lies.


So although he might promise to his God and priest that he'll live a good Catholic life, he'll be lying through his teeth and doing what the rest of us do.
I'll just say this, my husband is catholic and we had 2 kids before we got married, so that should answer your question however not all guys are the same.
some do, some don't. I sure did, once I got over all the crap the church forced into my head, and man, was I much better off once I started having sex. Yahhoooooooo!!!!1
Sounds to me like your interested in him messing up the bed sheets with you. Kinda funny you've only been on two dates and this is what your worried about lol
Trust me, yes they do. Young guys do not care about religion when it comes to sex.
not if hes TRUELY catholic and believes FULLY in his religion. and u should respect him for that if he is! =] %26lt;3 so good luck and have a great time!
Haha, One of em lost their V to me...yea, sorry but all men are sexual, and if they're not they will tell you straight up.
i came from a catholic school.. ive done drugs, had sex, fought. im sure im not the only one..





usually christians are the one who dont do that stuff
HAHAHAHA OF COURSE THEY DO !
don't set ur heart on having any sex of any kind before u marry shud u choose to and try not to pressurize him into doing so.
Most christians (including myself) have a hard time practicing what we are preached. XD
jump on his lap, you'll get an answer soon enough
ya they sucked on their mother's nipples when they were born.. other than that.. I dont think so.
not if their devoted catholics
