[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Barrow have some sort  of STD?[/quote]

No.  He's trying to cure himself of the gays.[/quote]

I would appreciate that story line more if they had shown him wrestling with his attraction more. Except for the Bateses, all the staff are celibate, so Barrow isn't anything special.

Original PP here. I agree that it doesn't make sense really. He's never seemed ashamed or regretful of his feelings. [/quote]

I think because he was in love with Jimmy, who is now gone.  Maybe this is his way of trying to get over him?

I think Thomas has most definitely seemed remorseful and mortified that he is gay.  Those are the scenes in which I feel so much empathy for him and where he shows his true vulnerability.  When Jimmy realized that Thomas was gay and reacted with such utter revulsion, Thomas's self-loathing was palpable.  And now, with this chemical castration story line, he's trying so hard to rid himself of those feelings.  As nasty as he can be, my heart aches for him.  [/quote]
