Congrats Jay & Jack - great article!! You guys deserve it- what a great podcast you put out twice a week. I am sure it takes up a lot of your time and we all appreciate it!!
I was very suprised to see Jack's last name was the same too- Uncle and Nephew sounds right to me! This is yet another mystery surrounding LOST that we need to uncover!

That was great! It was nice to see the picture of the two of you in your studio. Maybe someone could put the article/link to the wiki? |

Cool article! Let's see if it makes it into Swedish newspapers (tonight Sweden will air episode 21 - ?) - I don't remember if the article had any spoilers to that episode, but if it did - I guess it won't be published until tomorrow. If it's published I will scan a copy for you so that you can see how weird it would be in Swedish |

According to the article, Jack & I are about the same age (the article said he is 43, & I'm 42). He said that he lived in Santee for many years in a reply to one of my posts. Did he go to Santana High School too, because the name Jack Glatfelter isn't ringing a bell.

Its gotta be Nephew and Uncle! Father and son wouldnt talk about eachother like they do, and jay wouldnt talk about his mom by referring to her as jacks wife.

Congrats on the article! Jay, I still say you are adorable, even if you are about 10 years younger than me. My girlfriend/partner (but not wife.. we can't get gay married here in SF.. boo hiss) says it's ok that I think you are cute because we are both college students. Never mind that I am a grad student. Shhh. We'll just gloss over that detail.

My girlfriend/partner (but not wife.. we can't get gay married here in SF.. boo hiss)... I thought SF would be the place for gay couples to marry. Go to the Netherlands, Belgium or Spain - they allow gay marriages! Too bad not more countries allow it. In Sweden (and many more countries) it's "only" possible for registered partnerships (don't really know what the difference between that and a marriage is though). |

This is kinda off topic, but since you asked...
Yes, the only place where gay couples can currently get married legally in the US is in Massachussets. Due to a very old law, you can only get gay married there if you are a resident of that state.
California has an extensive domestic partnership program which, on a state level, grants most (but not all) of the same rights and responsibilities as marriage. Generally this is the difference between registered partnerships and marriage -- not all of the same rights are granted. Also, even if we were to be legally married on a state level, it is not recognized at the federal level, making gay couples ineligible for the same spousal benefits as straight couples -- this includes things like social security benefits and tax breaks.
Here in San Francisco, a few years ago our mayor ordered the city to begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Couples were legally wed for a few weeks before our state courts ordered the city to stop and invalidated all the issued licenses. I do have hope that sometime it will happen that it is legal for good, but this is not likely to come in the next few years due to the current political climate.
