con't - Politically and socially people have become so intrusive that you have to run every decision you make by everyone else. Not only that, you're DEMANDING their approval. Why is it society's business how John Barrowman lives his life? He's an adult. John, help me out here. Why are you so interested in getting society's approval? You don't need it. You're a good guy. People can choose to eat meat, not eat meat, drink and not drink, and that's fine. But on this issue especially, you can't.
This is where religion has gone off the rails for me. It's become entirely too fascistic. Totalitarianism is about collectivism, everyone in lockstep to a certain ideal. You've got the church trying to make everyone, religious or not, behave in a certain way, and you've got the other side trying to do the same thing and force society and religion to accept things that are incompatible with their conscience. Nobody's an individual anymore. What's right for you may not be right for me.
John Barrowman is great. He has helped me to realise that being gay doesn't make you different, it just makes me...me. I haven't come out to my family yet because i feel i amn't ready to yet but when i do, i just hope my parents are going to be as accepting to me as John's parents were to him. It's a shame i am the other type of gay because John's hot!
He *does* have nice calves.....I was flipping through his book "I Am What I Am" just the other day (bought it a month ago and still haven't had a chance to read it) and saw a picture of him in drag, and all I could think was: "Damn, he has nice legs." lol, I wish my legs looked that nice..... =D
I agree with what almost everyone else said. John is simply the best. I pray for everything good for John and Scott. I just wish everyone would watch this video.
Haha! Poor Scott, no kilt for him! John makes him sound like a little kid "It was hard enough getting him into a suit!" So adorable, I hope their love lasts forever!
It's a movie saying. They had a similar line in Star Wars and I suspect it goes back further than that. It's what characters who are a bit of a rouge say when they think they're going to die.
He is spot on! Gay is not a choice, it just is; skin/eye colour is not choice, it just is; your parents are not a choice, they just are. Lifestyle is a choice (sportsman, couch potato, volunteer, clubwoman... these are things one chooses to be). It is amazing that some think of gay as a "lifestyle." It's 2008, and some people still believe that being gay is a choice... would anyone willingly chose to be scorned and hated by other (perhaps ignorant) people?
It's evident that as long as you have your family's support, you can almost do anything.
If people who are supposed to love you no matter what condition their love to you not being gay... well... it's a little bit more difficult to be trusting and open and self confident, at least in this regard.
Good for John's parents, they obviously knew what they were doing.
As a catholic i would have to agree with alot of John's views. More of the liberal christians have understood modern day life and brought their religeon with it. I think if we are all humanist and wanting to do good and as John said, "be the best we can be", who cares if someones gay or straight.
If only others could be as great and comfortable with themselves as he is. Jaohn is exactly the kind of person that should be duplicated for children to look up to. He is (and this is going to sound really soppy and cliche) but he really is my own personal hero and I adore him so incredibly much!
Gloria Hunniford is a vile greedy old witch. She whored her poor daughter's death around the media and sold it to the highest bidder. She is a vicious shameless old cow who said she'd give the proceeds of her awful book to cahrity, but didn't. She has torn her family apart with her greed & nastiness...shame on her.
He's such a genuinely nice person. I love him and I really respect him for being proud of who he is and not letting anyone put him down. God bless you John!
AngelBuffyrock22 you took the words right out of my mouth! He is a real inspiration to me, showing that you shouldnt be afraid to be yourself. Im not religious or gay but i understand both the concepts and do not find homosexuality weird or horrible, it's still love and i hope people will come to understand that in time.
Ooo and i totally agree about Panto! It was my introduction to theatre and i'm hooked! lol Thanks for posting this!
wow. a serious talk about his sexuality.thanks for posting this.i think it's courageous that he's still being a christian. i meant, i left my religion as it opposes me to being gay. anyway, he and scott as a couple are just lovely.
Thanks for posting tis video. I do not personally agree with all his views about christianity and homosexuality, but i think he can be an inspiring model for many gays who are struggling with their faith and sexuality especially in my country singapore. :)
I am so in love. He is just the sweetest thing, anyone would be lucky to know him, be friends with him, anything because he is just so passionate and energetic. He's simply a beautiful person inside and out;. I cannot believe I didn't know about him before yesterday, God bless Dr. who.
He is just a beautiful person inside and out. I love the way he sings. He is too perfect, the face, the body, the singing and the acting. He is so adorable. I don't care if he is gay or not.
John Barrowman never ceases to amaze me. Whenever i think I can't possibly like him any more, he goes and does/says something to prove me wrong. Really amazing guy. (Not to mention he's drop dead gorgeous.)
i guess it was hard for john doing torchwood, cos he says that he believes in god in this clip, but there is that theme in torchwood saying that when you die, theres nothing, so it must have been hard acting in torchwood when you beleive the opposite of what is in your script.
one can believe one thing yet accept that others believe differently. also, i dont think capt. jack ever says there is nothing, he's just told by others that there is nothing. or perhaps they say theres nothing cuz they forgot - God's shutting them up
thats a good way to think about it. i mean, whats the point of living, if you know what happens after death? just say when you die, you go to heaven, and just say its been proven that you do, people will probably care less about life, so its better being in the dark about somethings
I'm not a christian, and I don't really agree with most of them, but John is the perfect example of the kind of christian that I just adore. He's such a wonderful, inspirational person, hurrah for him
I love Marion <3 She's brilliant and so is John senior, their fabulous! <3
