Members markgordon Posted January 27, 2010 Members Posted January 27, 2010 One more reason to wish that phenomenon may come to pass: John Yoo could marry Hu Jintao, and his name would then be John Yoo Hu. 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
Guest StuCotts Posted January 27, 2010 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

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
