On Caprica, Sam Adama was in a relationship with his partner, Larry. While we never learned if they were married, when executive producer Jane Espenson was asked if Capricans would support gay marriage, she said, “Yes, absolutely. Capricans always have viewed all marriages as equal. Wouldn’t occur to them not to.”
Here we live in a different world, where gay marriage is being accepted in trickles across the United States of America. But in Jane Espenson’s web series, Husbands, gay marriage just became legalized throughout the entire country. Post-celebration, Cheeks and Brady find out that being married may not be all that they had wished for, despite Cheeks’ best friend Haley’s attempts to make it work. For the Caprica fan in you, you’ll be pleased to see Alessandra Torresani (Zoe) playing the part of Haley.
If you need a good laugh, check out Husbands the Series today. Each episode is approximately 2 1/2 minutes long, perfect for squeezing in during your busy day. The last episode comes out today, but you can catch up on all the previous episodes by visiting the Husbands Episodes page.

Could not agree more with both the praise for this webseries, and with the recommendation that fans of the show need to share this with everyone they know. Don’t just do it once, do it again and again. The more we can do for TeamHusbands – the better chance that we’ll have more “Husbands” to love!

Sam and Larry were definitely married. I distinctly remember Sam referring to Larry as “my own husband” when talking about their disagreement over Tauron politics, and I think Larry mentions being married in an early episode where Willy asks why they don’t adopt a Tauron orphan.
