Forgive me for butting in here but I think I understand why fajrdrako pointed it out.
For someone like John Barrowman it's his sexuality which is always being pointed out.
With the latest Hollywood wedding it would be mentioned about the actor (e.g. Tom Cruise) probably something like:
"and of course you're married to the lovely Katie Holmes and have a daughter, Suri (?) with" and on with the interview.
But for someone like John the interviewer is more likely to say something like:
"and of course you're gay and have recently (married/legal partnered)... Scott (is it?)" and on with the interview. His sexuality is nearly always mentioned whereas for the straight actor it's just mentioned that they are married to whoever and carry on with the interview. They don't mention that the actor concerned is specifically straight.
Sorry for jumping in here it just seemed you had misunderstood the aspect of that comment.
