Actually, wouldn't his aggregated name be John Yoo-Jinao? I've always thought I'd take my spouse's name if I married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuCotts Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 In China, family names come first and given names come second. And so Hu's the president of China, when he's not on first. If that reference is too old for you, I won't be a bit surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am familiar with the vaudeville comedy routine made famous by Abbott and Costello. However, in this case, both of the players are already married. I hope that American gays will keep the pressure on in the struggle for full marriage and social equality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
