Who Wore It Best?

.
Torchwood star and gay sci-fi pioneer John Barrowman is turning 48 today. I've never watched any of his sci-fi shows - I'm mostly familiar with him the most from Central Park West, that terrible 90s soap he was on; there were lots of pictures of him in magazines like US (before it was US Weekly!) like that one up top that put him on my radar at the time.  That said my favorite thing about John is that he seems to have turned his sci-fi career into an excuse to go to Comic-Cons around the world and grab dude's dicks for photo-ops.

Seriously, if you search for such things (and who doesn't search for such things) the internet is awash in pictures of John Barrowman (and sometimes his husband Scott Gill too) grabbing geek junk.

Speaking of John's husband though...

... okay maybe they over-share with the internet a bit. But John really is forging ahead a path through the wilds of an unfriendly territory - this isn't a statement that will surprise anybody but Comic-Cons and geek culture (like all the world) can be homophobic, and John really puts it out there. So a happy birthday to him... and now let's judge him and his husband in their underwear.

John Barrowman was in CPW? I have no memory of that. Oh wait, I have barely no memory of CPW as it is...

Funny enough, I've been watching him as presenter of a reality TV show called Small Animal Hospital which is filmed at a veterinary hospital in Glasgow (it shows at dinnertime and the news broadcast is just depressing these days). It's a really cute show - you get to watch Barrowman speaking with his original Scottish accent and hugging dogs. What's not to love?

If you're not John Barrowman, commenter John, don't tell me. I want to believe! But thanks for the kind words either way :)
