    Part 1 out of 6 (2 through 6 on http://www.youtube.com/user/stopkillingsuzie)

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m27Awmlgi38[/YOUTUBE]

    I thought i would share this documentary with you all, because for anyone asking the question "Why am i gay and what made me this way?" this video should at least get you on the track to an answer. It stars John Barrowman (My dream-boat of an idol/role model) and its done brilliantly. He travels around finding all the leading people in scientific research on the subject. I definitely recommend watching it then sharing it with anyone else you know who needs advice on the topic.

    Enjoy! (!)

    Fantastic programme - I recorded it when it was first on telly over here - around the time I was starting to figure myself out in the summer.

    I have the "hand thing"...

    (oh, and I love the way JB's accent shifts as soon as he gets together with his family)

    Thanks for posting that!
    I just watched the whole thing!! And i too have the "Hand Thing" which is interesting!!

    Altho, it dose not matter too much to me if it is biological or environmental... its all out of my control and i am what i am!!! It really shouldn't matter either way!! But unfortunately not every one thinks like that and so it is good to be able to prove it is biological!!

    Thanks again!

    Im glad you guys liked it! To be honest i only found it when searching every video of John Barrowman i could find haha! He has alot of good ones. If you look up the video of him singing "I am what i am" on the show Sound of Musicals thats another good one.

    Ooh, very interesting.

    Noticed a flaw, though. xD That feminine kid they talked to? Adam? He sounded more transgender than gay to me.

    I was thinking that too. Either way I really enjoyed the video. It's funny because even though according to the tests on that show I'm pretty much text book definition gay, sometimes I can't help but wonder what if I'm all wrong.

    Oooooh that was interesting!

    I have two older brothers.
    The hand thing showed I have a straight hand and a gay hand.
    And my best friends from when I was very young were girls. :slight_smile:

    Thanks for sharing!

    Hmm... no Older Brothers, I have a masculine hand, I didn't play with barbies...
    I guess I'm straight. Well, goodbye EC! :smilewave

    Seriously, I'm glad I don't follow any stereotypes.
    Good video.

    Wanted to see it first time on tv but was too scared to what the family would say so was very glad to watch it online. I actually have my ring fingers shorter than the index finger. Does that make it a feminine hand? I never actually used to play with girl dolls but i did collect action figures and then use my sisters dolls to be the evil wives??!! and im the only boy as i only have a younger sister so the nad thing is the only biological thing i ve got to say which makes me gay!! i am kinda hoping they do discover a gay gene as this like John said would give a definite answer which i also kinda hope for.
