Torchwood star backs homophobic bullying campaign
As if I needed another reason to drool over this guy(despite his marital status!) i have found two. :-D. John Barrowman of Torchwood fame today has backed an Anti-Bullying Campaign to stamp out homophobia during anti bullying week in the UK. Then while doing a search on the same individual, I came accross a video of himself & Ruth henshall singing "anything you can do". Talk about priceless. :-D

Stonewall today launched a major new anti-bullying campaign aimed at young people in schools across England.
Backed by Dr Who and Torchwood star John Barrowman, the campaign will see posters, stickers and postcards with the legend Some People Are Gay. Get Over It! sent to all 5,000 secondary schools in England in advance of this year's Anti-Bullying Week, November 19-23.
The powerful statement and bold design, developed together with over 100 secondary school pupils and teachers, have been devised as part of Stonewall's Education for All programme.
Supported by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, the campaign aims to send an uncompromising message that schools should take a 'zero-tolerance' approach to homophobia and homophobic bullying.
John Barrowman urged all school pupils to give their support.
"Join me in Stonewall's Education for All campaign and help exterminate homophobia," he said.
"Be bold. Be brave. Be a buddy not a bully."
Johan Jensen, Education Officer at Stonewall, told PinkNews.co.uk:
"Young people tell us they want schools to take a strong stance against homophobic bullying.
