It's implied that they wind up happily married.
In the original book, she falls in love with one of Patrick's college professors, a genuinely good man who reciprocates her love and proposes to her as she's being rushed to the hospital in labor. that was founded and set up by Aunt Mame herself, specifically to help Agnes (and to tick off the snooty rich family whose property was next door to the future site of the home). Instead of being married to the guy who knocked her up, Agnes is sent to live in a home for unwed mothers. It is worth noting that in a later, musical version of the play, this part was changed. This is supposed to be a happy ending because it means that she's not, as she gravely feared, an unwed mother.
She finds herself impregnated and accidentally married to a sexual predator who got her drunk and led her to the altar because he thought she was a rich noblewoman. Agnes' fate at the end of Auntie Mame definitely qualifies for this trope.The film is now rarely seen outside of film classes thanks to Values Dissonance making it unwatchable to anyone except a film student learning the state of the art in 1915 (and historians who really know what they're talking about will point out that it isn't as innovative as its reputation suggests, as the Italians had been making similarly ambitious productions for a couple of years before WWI). Although denounced by the NAACP even at the time, it was a huge hit and went on to be so influential that for decades, the director had an honorary award named after him at the Oscars. Going way back, The Birth of a Nation (and by extension, the novel it was based on, The Clansman by Thomas Dixon) features the Ku Klux Klan as the good guys, complete with a Big Damn Heroes moment towards the end of the story.Nowadays, that would probably get the director fired and justify a huge lawsuit. The director condescendingly replies that she was hired for her looks and her body and not any reporting ability. At a cocktail party soon after the events, she asks the news director to let her do more hard news stories. The China Syndrome: Jane Fonda plays a puff-piece reporter who, while doing a puff piece on a nearby nuclear plant, witnesses a near-meltdown of the plant.
Granted, as a school lunch it's still out of the ordinary, but not quite to the extent that it was at the time, the film was released. Back in the '80s, sushi was a far more exotic and expensive dish, but over the years it's become more affordable and gained mainstream popularity. There is a relatively minor case regarding the fact that Claire brought sushi for lunch, which serves as a symbol of how wealthy and elitist her family is.Today, the word is generally seen as an extremely offensive homophobic slur, but in The '80s, the term would essentially be seen as just another swear and doesn't imply that either of them was gay-bashers. Both Bender and Andy use the word "fag/faggot" without being punished or reprimanded for it.In today's zero-tolerance environment, he likely would have been expelled and/or slapped with court-ordered psychiatric therapy for the rest of the school year (and maybe beyond that if he decides to go to college or the military). His punishment is a Saturday of detention when it goes off in his locker. Brian brings a flare gun to school so he can commit suicide (or at least destroy a shop project at which he failed).Even in the film, the character possibly only goes with them because he feels grateful for George freeing him, and suffers from constant racism by the white fighters. Although the character had a historically factual precedent, the idea of a black soldier fighting for the Confederacy, an institution widely associated with white supremacy, was so repugnant that the film was delayed, promotional materials were destroyed, and the release was severely limited (in the actual Confederacy most of the black soldiers were slaves forced into service by their masters though, so it's not as if they were all willing anyway).

The movie portrays an African American fighting on the side of southern guerrillas in the Kansas border skirmishes of the Civil War.
