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.

This is over 2k notes now. I just want to thank all of you for sharing.

#but people still say their ‘opinion’ that gays are disgusting and should be criminalized #is not harmful at all if a man like John Barrowman whose entire existence has been one big happy ball of sunshine #that he has shared with the world believes he would have killed himself if he could not BE himself then what about all the others? #these things fucking matter hate is harmful it’s deadly your ‘opinion’ is shit (via @momentsofweakness)

He’s so certain of himself. So secure. And even he doubts he’d have made it. Try to tell me again homophobia’s not a horrible thing that crumbles even the strongest people.
