john barrowman, being gay

following on from Barrowmans research what 'explains' bi-sexuality?
My brother who lives in Canada does the same accent thing (although not as prominent as Barrowmans). When he talks to us he sounds British when he is out and about in Canada, he sounds Canadian. weird!

The '1 in 10' thing is utter hokum if my experience is anything to go by.
I was brought up in SE London and at school had a wide circle of friends, most of whom I am still in touch with and none of whom are gay.
At college I had a wide circle of friends, most of whom I am still in touch with and none of whom are gay.
I am now in my mid 30's and over the years have met a lot of people and made friends with many of them, none of whom are gay.
1 in 10 in Soho Square may be true, but that is not representative of the country.
Am I unique in that all of the people I know are not gay.
Naah, probably not - the 1 in 10 thing is utter utter utter rubbish.

I thought the programme was very interesting and I applaud the programme makers and John Barrowman for the way it was handled.
Does anyone remember a film or documentary about Quentin Crisp? The way people reacted to him was disgusting and I remember being upset about how people could treat another human being that way.

I've got to say, each to their own and all that, and what legally happens between consenting adults is up to them, but as a heterosexual male, I've got to say the thought of having a mans penis rammed another mans backside is just utterly bizarre.
Still, whatever floats their boat I s'pose.

The accent thing isn't too strange. I have a friend who speaks as broad a Leicester accent as you could imagine. However, she comes from Corby in Northants. The first time I heard her speaking to her brother, I couldn't understand a word she was talking about because the accent had turned into that broad, pseudo-Glaswegian accent of the Corby scot.
It was weird, I can tell you.

I have a friend who has lived in the North of England for over 40 years. When we talk, it`s in Welsh & her accent is as welsh as mine, but when she talks in English, she`s got a very Northen accent.
