I wish it was that easy for me. I like boys and girls and my mom is a super Christian and my dad is a Christian but I think he's a drinker anyway, and I haven't come out to them. I don't think I ever will. I wish this didn't happen to me cause it's awkward seeing someone you like without being able to tell them
I understand you. I'm bisexual and came out to my Christian mother a few months ago. It wasn't as bad as I thought but I totally understand that sometimes it's too hard or dangerous to come out. You don't have to 'come out' if you don't want. You can live your life however you want whilst trying to keep yourself safe. If there's ever a time when you want to come out.. maybe she'll need time to accept it. It maybe she will be awful and you might want to cut her out of your life. Whatever it is, you don't need to make that decision right now. The best thing would be if you had friends you could confide in and be discrete.
It's problematic because when we say "gay" to a straight person they immediately think of the sex part of being gay rather than the love part. Parents and children have never discussed each other's sex lives . . . not even straight parents and straight children. The details are never discussed, you just assume they only do things you would consider normal -- whatever that is.
Mikey, exactly. I mean, me being greedy has nothing to do with my sexual orientation lol. In all seriousness though, when people ask me about being bi I just tell them that there are too many amazing and beautiful people for me to fall in love with just one gender of them :P
Eva- Yea but there are too many amazing and beautiful straight people as well...Wouldn't say to fall in love with as love is a overused word-A'lot of it is lust though............Where you from? :-)
Why would you be friends with someone who’s homophobic in the first place? Plus, his character isn’t even gay. He’s bi/pan. Many people are biphobic too.
@@Justhppy2behere Homophobia affects bi/pan people too?? I could call it queerphobia or some wildly umbrealla’d term but people largely know what I mean. As a bi person myself I don’t love how everyone acts like it’s “bi erasure” every time you describe something as homophobia. When someone calls me the f slur they aren’t calling me it because I’m bi, they’re calling me it because they assume I’m attracted to anything they deem gender non-conforming for someone like me. So when I say she unlearned homophobia and stopped feeling weird about me, I’m not saying something that misrepresents *my* experience. Also, I was raised in a Catholic bubble and every loved one I have any history with is deeply conservative in their views when it comes to gender and sexuality. Not everyone can simply cut out loved ones over it, and I was literally 16 when I wrote that so I wasn’t about to run away purely out of principle. You weigh what’s safer and go accordingly. This isn’t worth me typing out such a long response but I’m bored and BEYOND annoyed with people assuming they know best on the other side of a screen. Now I am a happy and healthy adult and the friend in question has indeed examined her worldview and become a compassionate adult alongside me. Obviously you never owe bigots your attention and your safety comes first, but I don’t think it is fair to assume that a 16 year old girl who has never met anyone beyond the Catholic conservative sphere is “beyond redemption” or whatever. She is a good person and I felt that and I fought for her to become someone she’s proud to be today.
Bless John Barrowman for existing. I wish I was this open. With my friends I'm the gayest, non-binary person there is. At home I'm a kinda bisexual female and it sucks that I can't be this open, but people like John give me a little hope that I'm allowed to be me. There is no shame is being myself.
Amen! No shame in just being yourself! no matter who are or pretend to be, some people will like you and some people won't... so you may as well be the person you like :)

I love that reaction. I've seen some people going completely crazy if a question like that was asked and it sadly makes LGBT people look bad :( John is so comfortable with himself and it's fantastic. Hope that one day everyone can be that open and comfortable with it
YES! Zapp . . . . i thought i recognized that costume, but i kept thinking star trek-ish. Which is funny, because i think Futurama was trying to parody William SHatner.

Right??!!! Because I heard the voice who was asking the question, then they showed the little girl and i was like, "wait a minute!!" But then when John asked for a sign language interpretation and i looked closer, I realized that the woman was translating for the hearing girl
I really liked him in the Arrowverse. I adored him on the panels and interviews. But I fell head over heels when I heard (and watched) him sing. So of COURSE he's gay. My man picker's been busted my whole life. lol p.s. he had the best possible response....the world needs more kindness like that!!!!!!
Live like the CAPTAIN ❣️ I'm ac/dc myself, but it's all cool, though, that John is "just" GAY in real life... I wonder if Gareth David- Lloyd ( Ianto Jones on Torchwood ) is gay (seeing them snog on the show was keen just the same. AND kissing Docs 9, 10 ...11 perhaps ? Can't remember, sorry... ). John rocks ❣️ Big kiss & hug...❤️
I think John Barrowman is a great performer and I hear he’s a really nice guy, but I would have loved to be in that audience and said either “The Oscar goes to....” or “Nobody’s THAT good an actor!” I think he would have gotten a laugh out of either one.
I got a friend who is 22 from the USA he is not gay but works in a care home I've work in a care home to but as a kitchen staff with mental health issues and they knew about we met a couple months ago he wonts to come to England I'm afraid but why should I be he is A friend. One I didn't tell u his also adopted I feel sorry for he's real. Mom and dad that they will never know what a lovely son the had lost and I'm proud to call him a friend who is pain in bum sometimes
Is this BSL or ASL? Cause I thought it was ASL, but then didn't John Barrowman do the BSL thank you at the end? Totally new to both, so I'm probably completely wrong!
demelza mason It's in Boston, I guess it's ASL for the girl and the signer. But John knows BSL better, cause he was involved in charity work for deaf people in the UK. The thank you is probably BSL...
You know for some reason, I just had a feeling that Malcolm Merlyn's actor was gay. It's weird to say but there was ways something about the way his face looked that reminded me of my gay brother. Looks like I was correct LOL
This reminds me of a little girl from a steel town who had the dream to dance. She had to strip down to nothing, she had to sit in that chair and arch her back and she reached up and pulled that chain to nowhere and doused herself with water!

This man's role in DW made my super strict homophobic friend lose her homophobia. Thank god for John Barrowman. Thank god for Doctor Who & Torchwood.
