「The Making of Me」－加薪貓之生人勿近

資料摘自http://www.bbcamerica.com

Barrowman seeks to answer the question: why am I the way I am? In this one-hour special, Barrowman sets out to unearth what the latest scientific research can tell him about the origins of his homosexuality.

His search for evidence takes him back to his roots to meet family and old friends. He also meets with psychologists and geneticists, compares his DNA to his heterosexual brother's, and conquers his claustrophobia to undergo a brain scan - all in the quest to find out how nature and nurture might have interacted to make him who he is.

Barrowman tells the BBC: "My sexuality has never been deliberately hidden. I'm in a committed relationship with the love of my life, Scott Gill, and he is as much a part of the family as my sister's husband, Kevin, and my brother's wife, Dot. However, just because I'm comfortable with my sexuality doesn't mean that I'm not curious about it and that's one of the reasons I agreed to take this journey to discover the making of me."

這是英國BBC替John製作的紀錄片「The Making of Me」，
John說大約從九歲起就意識到自己是個同志，他認為自己生來就是這樣，天生的。
他參與BBC製作的這部記錄片，從各種科學的角度實驗、探討同志的性取向到底是由什麼因素所決定，
JB粉一定要看的啦！
本來想要放上所有的影片連結，不過Youtube上還是有部分影片遭到封鎖無法觀看，殘念～
其實網路上有流傳中文字幕的版本，善用Google大神搜尋關鍵字，很容易找到的～

雖說是從科學角度出發去探討，但其實節目內容還滿輕鬆的，很有意思～
尤其John這個搞笑的傢伙面對種種實驗的反應有時候真的很好笑～有的橋段也很感人，
還有些研究員故意騙他說他是Straight，嚇死他了！XDD
不過有一橋段John在影片中提到：
"If I'd grown up in the country of my birth, I'd probably have been one of those kids that committed suicide."
似乎蘇格蘭對於同性戀這方面很嚴苛？不合法？.....不太懂。
如果真是那樣那真是太可怕了！幸好他們全家移民去美國啦～
想想也許某人以後可能會是某方面的天才，或是有特別的天賦，只因為性取向就讓一條寶貴生命消失，
這不是很可惜也很殘忍嗎？

話說這段影片還可以看到John和他Partner Soctt 的互動，很可愛～
John說他是急性子常為工作忙的團團轉，而Scott 這個慢郎中總是可以拉住他照顧他，看來的確是這樣，
不過Scott 好像真的不太注意John的工作內容欸～XD
都要送John去機場了還搞不清楚John到底要去哪，好好笑！還怪John都沒告訴他～
等John說要給他每週的行程表，他又嘟囔著：「你以為我會看嗎？」，真是一對寶啊！
還有John和他爸媽還有家人們對話都講蘇格蘭腔很有趣～蘇格蘭腔聽起來真的很不同，
他爸媽也真的是很可愛很活潑的一對，難怪會養出像John這樣的孩子啦！

Anyway，如果有JB粉還沒看過這部紀錄片，快去找來看看吧！
