If someone told me that, after 30-some years of knowing I was gay, they had scientific proof that I was straight, I would have had a heart attack. Kudos to him for not falling to the floor right away!
Poor John! I thought he was gonna have a heart attack when they said he was straight. Hilarious, but so mean. I wish shows like this could be broadcast wider, to allow more people to see that it's not a choice. To me, being straight is natural. So I can imagine how homosexuals can say that it's not a choice. But they have to struggle against that natural attraction because of us straight people saying so. It's not fair on them.

Wow, when he was told he was straight I think he felt like his life had been a lie because he's been straight for so long! Bless him
This is really interesting, that they were able to observe sexual brain activity, and conclude that John was indeed 100% gay. I love the look on John's face when they tell him he's straight - he seriously looked troubled.
Lmao! I was so scared you were going to tell me I was straight!" Awe John. This is very very interesting, especially if they can at one point find the origin of where it all starts.
funny that the bbc worldwide channel just posted this officially on yt, now that we know there'll be a US version of torchwood and that barrowman will be in "desperate housewives"...
i think that johns reaction to them telling him that he was straight although understandable, i hope that it would not have changed him. if he thinks he is gay he should not let a test tell him otherwise. i could have misunderstood what they said, but it was not cool for them to tell him he was straight. i mean it is a stressful and emotional time for him and that was not cool
I don't know why it's so hard for people to look at being gay the same as being straight, I like guys (I'm a Girl), and I can't change that, I just like them! How is it any different with a guy likes guys? THEY JUST DO!
@allsaintsmonastery I agree, but personally I think we should never use God as an excuse to hate. Jesus taught people to love one another. I'm christian and I honestly couldn't care less about your sexual orientation. That alone doesn't define you as a person. No single belief defines you as a person. I think that this world needs to understand that everyone has different beliefs and you just have to live with that whether or not you necessarily agree with them.
your brain structure is determined by your genetics. they are searching to see if genetics is a factor in why the brain is structured that way in the first place.
@@ayoubben2018 genetics determining your brain structure is widely regarded as scientific fact. the links of genetic and brain structure to sexuality is a relatively new field, but, there is significant evidence to show they both help determine sexual orientation.
E Cooper - actually prenatal hormone exposure (to androgens) are much more reliable with regard to sexual orientation. Fetus begins as female typical, and is masculinised by testosterone and androgen receptors. Not enough of this means parts of the brain are somewhat ‘under masculinised’ resulting in a homosexual brain. In lesbians the opposite is true, too much androgens and they are lesbians. All sorts of physical differences with regards to gays and lesbians also confirm this is the most likely route. Genes play a minor role.
Am I the only gay person who thinks it'd be great if we could alter the brain to change orientation? I'm not sure how they would do it because it seems set in the womb, but if we could recreate the womb conditions and alter the size of the INAH 3, brain hemispheres, suprachiasmatic nucleus, and anterior commissure, I would take this treatment in a heartbeat, even if it had a 50% chance of death. It's not that I hate homosexuals, I just don't want to be one.

Being gay or straight is not a choice. You don't get to choose if you are a boy or a girl you get to choose if you are right handed or left handed you don't get to choose how tall you are. You basically choose who you are in this world. And shame in those who choose to be judgements and ignorant. I apologize for miss spelled words.
Poor John ... so gullible. The whole special is amazing to me but you have to watch the British version. The American version is compressed for time, which means some interesting items are left out.
@marniemiami I think that was said in humour, and that you are looking for an excuse to hate. Hate, is of course, a dogma for Fundamentalists, just as ignorance is one of their dogmas. But hate and malice are hallmarks of Fundamentalism. The Barrowman tests are small compared to the ones at the Brain Institute and Karloliniska in Sweden and the extensive fMRI tests done in China. But Barrowman himself knows his gender, and his critics simply transfer their hate toward him for who he is.
@allsaintsmonastery You said "we cannot always use God as an excuse to hate." I love the way you used "always" (as in... sometimes?) Lolllll just joking ;)
he is bisexual because he is also attracted to women.he said that he loved a beautifull women (feinn or something) with whom he wanted to have sex,but was afraid.he also said that if he lose his patner ,he would go for some woman.(means that he wants his husband to die,to hav sex with a girl).his brain test also showed that he was bisexual
We are humans, not machines: bang, tabula rasa disproved. We are very complex at that and there are no absolutes in the human condition. And we cannot always use God as an excuse to hate.
@ron2013 We do, and we do: help poor people, and we take in street people in the winter. However, doing good deeds not not free us from the guilt of having persecuted people with false accusations and from primeval fears. We do need to rectify that, try to take Christianity out of the persecution business.
Wow... maybe this test showed his arousal... but wanting to have sex with someone and falling in love with someone are 2 completely different things. I am Lesbian. I can't fall in love with a man. That doesn't mean I can't find them attractive or be able to have or want sex with them. But I would much rather prefer a girl when choosing to have sex with. And I could never fall in love with a man. that makes me les. The ability to fall in love with women.
If someone told me that, after 30-some years of knowing I was gay, they had scientific proof that I was straight, I would have had a heart attack. Kudos to him for not falling to the floor right away!
The poor guy! XD it looked like he almost had a heart attack when they told him he was straight!
this makes me wonder as to the what the brain scan would reveal in a bisexual persons brain
Probably a bit of everything
I salute hims for subjecting himself to such tests in front of the rest of the World .
aww, I love his sort of 'suprised' look and silence at 1.50 that was so sweet (l)

I wish I could watch one on being bisexual. That would be interesting.
It's on TH-cam. Just type in "Making of Me" or" John Barrowman Making of Me" and it will pop up. Just be aware that it is a full hour.
This is really interesting, that they were able to observe sexual brain activity, and conclude that John was indeed 100% gay. I love the look on John's face when they tell him he's straight - he seriously looked troubled.
OF COURSE his brain is gorgeous, it's the brain of JOHN BARROWMAN
Lmao!
I was so scared you were going to tell me I was straight!"
Awe John.
This is very very interesting, especially if they can at one point find the origin of where it all starts.
Yeah, it sure is fun being gay bashed. Definitely makes the time go by faster. You're so right about that...
You and me both, hon. This brought up a lot of questions for me.
This is John Barrowman's brain on sex. John Barrowman is afraid of his brain on sex. Don't fret, we still love you, John Barrowman. lol
I would've fallen to the floor crying about me being straight, after all those years of knowing I like men
funny that the bbc worldwide channel just posted this officially on yt, now that we know there'll be a US version of torchwood and that barrowman will be in "desperate housewives"...
Is there anywhere I can do these brain tests? Online maybe?
He's a great actor / entertainer !!!

I don't think those are Johns readings, i think those are Jacks results lol
TheDoodleChicken, agreed! That was the wrong time to make such a joke and not really funny in that situation. Poor John, he really looked shocked!
Polish joke about brain scan in movie, that you will have cancer after.
This can help people with sexual identity disorders.
@Whizper2me KInsey was wrong. Please read about Judith Reisman.
Actually to find out why some people are gay we have to find out why some people are straight...
@bbcdouchebags Yes, in fact it can. And very well too.

If homosexuality have something to do with brains structure than why science still searching if its genetic ?? Can someone answer me
your brain structure is determined by your genetics. they are searching to see if genetics is a factor in why the brain is structured that way in the first place.
