I posted 4 questions today about gay marriage. I didn't bash but simply asked for opinions. I asked a question and it wouldn't post so I'd rephrase it and did this 3 times but none would post. The last one finally did and it's the only one that didn't have the phrase Gay Marriage in the questions title. So... is this topic taboo for Y/A? Why do they always feature questions about this topic or about tolerance but won't post my questions?

Caution: Truth May Hurt.... the phrase is in the question but I'm talking about the title. This particular question has G/M in the title

Here's what I think ... .. .. . I think specific users get targeted by Yahoo . I believe they assign moderators to 'watch' what certain users are asking . I say this because I used to have several of my questions never see the light of day , but that doesn't happen at all anymore ??? Hmmmm , it still happens to others , yet not me anymore . And God knows I ask a whole lotta questions . You'd think if it were innocent glitches or random problems then certainly I would experience this problem. . . yet I do not . Hmmmm .
By all mathematical possibilities , I should be experiencing what others are , and even more so due to the volume of questions that I ask , but I do not . It's completely unfair and biased . I'm sorry it's happening to you .
And now you know . .. . the rest of the story .

I think that Yahoo in sensitive to the Gay Marriage topic because it can become a flame war in no time. The same with Islam.

I don't see any problem with discussing GM on Yahoo. Personally, I think they should never have shrunk Buicks or dropped the Oldsmobile line. And they should never have made the Escalade. A Cadillac is a luxury car, not an SUV.
I prefer Ford cars anyway. But then, that's a lifestyle choice. A legal one. Like marriage should be for any two consenting adults. I'm 37, straight, and never married. I am in no position to tell any two consenting adults they should not marry simply because they are gay.
And neither are these multi-married and/or hooker-hiring right-wingers telling us how marriage is the bedrock of civilization in any such position. Work on your own marriages, and shut the hell up about anyone else's marriage, current or planned.

I think Gays should be entitled to all the same rights (and responsibilities) as any other person, just don't call it marriage. Make it legally equivalent to marriage, but save the word to apply only to couples of the opposite sex. My reasoning is that there are many religions, for instance Roman Catholic, for which Marriage is not just a legal contract, but a sacred institution in the church. To make gay marriage legal and to call it marriage I see as a violation of the separation between Church and State.

I your post before they were yanked and they were innocent and not offensive in anyway.
Apparently someone has some deep rooted problems and cannot bear to have anyone inquiring into g/m.
BTW: At first I thought you wear talking about the car dealership. LOL!

No it's not. Well...not if you're straight. We can't have an opinion on it I guess.
You can't have an opinion on ANY Politically Correct Topic if you are not of that group here on Yahoo. They say you are racist and bigoted - even though it is NOT true. Do you have to like and approve of every deviant behavior someone does in order NOT to be a racist bigot or an intolerant elitist? Apparently you DO on Yahoo Answers!

I think anyone who reports anyone they just take it off and don't monitor if it really is abusive.
This site is really stupid that way.
Someone who had a beef with you probably reported you because they aren't intelligent enough to have a discussion with you about it.

It seems like the site is monitored by liberals. You can bash Christians all you want but don't be bashing liberals because you'll get violated or have your question removed.

Who knows? Maybe the rationale is there may be "children" reading here. ( know any good lawyer jokes?)

It is obviously a techical error. More specifically a PEBCAC (problem exists between chair and computer). This question posted, and it had "Gay Marriage" in it, so that's obviously not the cause.
Fred Phelps sucks.
