John Barrowman receiving the Human Rights Campaign award

Some friends here know that I recently struggled a bit with my love for John Barrowman, you know how it is, little things start to grate, and you start to wonder about some of his decisions and general over the top behavior (I'm still not over that weird stripey suit with short pants he wore when presenting an award show). But then he goes and does something awesome and I am back.

Today he got the Human Rights Campaign award for being out and proud and helping the community in every way possible. I hadn't known that he actually helped shaping UK laws (I only knew that they changed the music charts counting system when he started to sell his CDs at QVC). That's pretty big. Here is the video of his acceptance speech and it is a really good one. This is why we love him:

And now I need to go and find the video of Scott he's talking about.

I'm afraid you won't find it - Facebook deleted it after it was online for several days.
Some news pages picked up on it and also posted it but pixelled the exact moment ;)
