John Barrowman, The Making of Me (2008)

I’m going to try and explain why this really shook me, and I’ll probably fail, but here goes: John’s very secure in his sexuality. He’s known he was gay since he was eight, and he grew up in a loving, supportive family. Yet he still fears that if he’d stayed in a country where homosexuality was illegal for most of the first part of his life, that he wouldn’t have survived.

And that’s why equal rights are so important.
