Why does John Barrowman not support same-sex marriage if he is gay and married?
He is not married. He has had a civil partnership ceremony in Britain (that's what the UK has instead of gay marriage). He considers marriage to be a heterosexual institution. As many heterosexuals are not supportive of gays, he doesn't think marriage is a thing that gays should aspire to.
