Hund's rule & different $H_2$H₂ molecules

Tweeted twitter.com/#!/StackChemistry/status/290726749392744448

Does Hund's rule allow both of the following scenarios?

  • Filling each orbital with a single electron, so that a sub-shell, at first, only electrons with a negative spin
  • Filling each orbital with a single electron, such tha tathat a sub-shell, at first, only electrons with a positive spin?

I assume two H atoms whose electrons have different spins would form $\ce{H-H}$ and atoms where the spins are the same would form $\ce{H}:\ce{H}$$\ce{H:H}$. Is that correct?
