John Barrowman Schools Homophobic Vine Star Nash Grier

John Barrowman recently posted a picture from Wizard Con with 16-year-old Vine superstar Nash Grier (second from left).

It was an odd meet up, considering Grier has a history of using gay slurs—culminating in that now-infamous Vine where he declared HIV was just a gay problem and shouting "fag!" at the top of his lungs.  (And honestly, that vid is just the tip of a nasty iceberg.)

So why the Grier photo-op with Barrowman? Maybe Grier was just looking for a chance to rehab his image.

For his part, Barrowman wasn't aware of this kid's anti-gay track record:. "When I took the picture with Nash Grier I had no idea that he'd made some homophobic comments, however he's standing with one of the biggest gay guys in the world, and if he doesn't change his homophobic attitudes and doesn't grow up... then he's an asshole."

John may have a point. Grier is, after all, only 16. But considering his outsized sphere of influence - 8.7 million followers - he needs to grow up quickly.
