I wonder if his brother will fulfill his request or if something will avoid it (if so, possibly something else even worse will happen instead, like his brother getting killed or something like that.) The past two episodes did also well in establishing some of the differences between the Caprican and our culture. First we see the group family of the teacher, and now we see Joseph's brother and his husband. Of course, we're mostly seeing it from their perspectives, but it seems as if both is a lot more accepted and integrated in the society of the 12 Colonies. Considering that Joseph's brother is working for organized crime, essentially an equivalent of the Sicilian Mafia or something like that from Earth, I doubt we'll find many criminal organization very accepting of gays (especially those build on family ties and ethnic heritage.)Battlestar Galactica never got to show off much of this part (aside from the webisodes about Gaeta), but it did at least establish a genuine gender equality. But, there clearly still is racism - or rather "colonialism". I really dig the Caprica setting.</blockquote>
