Plenty of people have been taking advantage of the re-opening of marriage to same sex couples in the last few days. They’ve now been joined by actors/singer John Barrowman and his long-term partner, Scott Gill.
It’s a bit of a turnaround for Torchwood and Arrow’s Barrowman, who many years ago expressed a dislike of the idea of gay people getting married, suggesting that it was aping an outdated, straight institution. However he’s mellowed over the years, as he and Gill became civil partners on December 27th 2006 in a small ceremony in Cardiff, and now they’ve got officially hitched in California.
Never one to do things quietly, Barrowman and Gill made sure there were pictures, videos and tweets to mark the event, some of which you can see above and below.
John met Scott at a production of Rope at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 1991, when Gill came to see Barrowman in the play. They’ve been together pretty much ever since.
Here’s the vids and some of the tweets John and Scott released:
