John Barrowman to explore why he is gay on TV show...
I don't know about you, but i used to be obsessed with figuring out why I was gay. That was then. Now? Notsomuch. Since I wouldn't want to change a thing, it's not such an important question to me personally. But I do not think, not for a single second, that it is a choice.
Still, it's an intriguing question and John Barrowman is going to delve into it on a British TV show this month as one of three celebrities who go on a mission to discover the source of their defining trait, talent or characteristic. With the help of scientific testing, the latest psychology techniques, brain science and genetics, they attempt to answer a question that affects everyone - how do nature and nurture shape us?
John, who has been convinced that he was born gay and firmly believes that homosexuality is not a choice, undertakes a series of tests including a DNA examination that is compared with his straight brother's,
"It's not going to change who I am," he told The Guardian. "I always said, if the outcome is you're born this way, I'm going to be ecstatic. If the outcome is that it's something that happens to you, a trauma or it's your choice, I will have to reflect and think about that, but it's not going to change who I am because I like who I am."
The BBC 1 show, "The Making of Me," airs on July 24. Check your local listings.
