Is anyone watching the John Barrowman thing on the beeb........they are out to prove whether he might in fact be straight!

[LackaDAISYcal]

only half watching but something to do with almost becoming immune to the testosterone levels

I just knew there would be women here watching that programme and praying (as I was!) that JB would prove to be as straight as they come. Somehow I never doubted the issue though, and I am very happy for him that he was so pleased with his results.

The thing about being gay because he is a third son is a bit off though. It only increased his chances, which is not the same as being the cause of his gayness. So as to finding out why he was gay, I thought the programme was spectacularly inconclusive.

Nice to watch an hour long programme devoted to the great JB though.

All a bit odd, I thought. I totally respect him for doing it, but cod science is certainly how it came across to me. Who you fancy is who you fancy. We're such complicated people, and relationships - from platonic friendship to erotic love and all the many permutations in between - are so not an exact science.

Any 'scientific' exploration can only possibly be at a superficial level right now. Maybe we'll 'get' it in a few hundred years time, but I doubt it.

My maths is not the grestest, but surely there are less men with 4 or more older brothers that those with 1. So, would it not stand that the precentages are higher because the sample sizes are smaller????

I haven't watched the programme yet (hopefully it's on iplayer) but my DH is a third son - should I be worrying?

JimJamMum - unless your sample is very small, it shouldn't affect the percentage

well, no, scififan... because there's nothing wrong with being gay...

but if your tweezers start goiing missing...

Aitch... I kind of think there'd be something to worry about if her Dh is a possibly gay... not her Ds, mind, but her husband, yeah, I'd worry and I don't think there's anything wrong with being gay

gawd, yer such a prude, KH. live a little.

exh is one of five brothers and one sister

the two youngest brothers are both gay

I watched this because it was JB

Personally I dont mind if he is gay or not, I am happy to lust after him either way

I just loved it when he meet up with his childhood friend and they talked about the games they played. I was Laughing out Loud

I still think it was weird how he talked to his parents in such a broad Scottish accent, and then to his boyfriend in a very American one. Very odd. And he his face looked totally different when he spoke in his Scottish accent.
I thought that was more mesmerising than all the old stuff about gayness.

lol Aitch, yeah, the blog is ample evidence of my prudery and shy, retiring nature

wot dodgy science on tv?

I wasn't too sure what the point of the programme was - would have prefered a Who Do They Think They Are? featuring him.

But did you see his boyfriend? Hubba hubba indeed.

Gays get the best and we get all the rest.
