Barrowman Has Gay Test
15 July 2008 5:08 AM, PDT
Openly gay actor John Barrowman has undergone a series of tests to determine the cause of his homosexuality, as part of a new documentary.
The Dr Who star is fronting new series The Making Of Me, in which he undergoes experiments to determine if he was born gay or whether his sexuality was affected by his environment.
And he is now urging the parents of gay teens to watch the programme to better understand their children.
He says, "When I first started in my career, I thought I'm here to entertain people, nothing more.
"But as I've got older, my career has gone in a different direction... Now I get a lot of letters from young people who are either in the position of being shunned by their families or are fearful of coming out.
"I thought I could help those people and help everyone understand. It's a question: Is it nature or is it nurture?
"If you're a parent with a gay child, watch it."
The Making Of Me airs on the U.K.'s BBC One on 24 July.
