Deal icon An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Ian is a very good man, at heart. He is someone who would be willing to risk his life to save a stranger and that's just how he has always been; willing to make a difference.

One such thing he did was by playing the messiah of the people whose voices were being kept down. The Gay Jesus storyline was really very good because it showed the leader in Ian. He matured to lead a movement against injustice and to some extent, he was able to make a difference. Ian is the only one who doesn't show his hate for Frank Gallagher with his looks. While Lip, Debbie, Carl, Liam, and Fiona share a heated relationship with Frank, Ian just doesn't seem to care enough to even talk to him.

And that's understandable because Ian isn't the son of Frank, instead, his father is Gary Bennett. He learned the truth when his blood group wasn't compatible with his siblings.

Safe to say, he didn't like the truth. Ian is one of the only members of the family who seem to care about their mother, Monica Gallagher and there's a huge reason for that. They share a similarity in their Bipolar disorder, and these kinds of things do seem to get people together.

Ian knows what Monica goes through on a daily basis and Monica does likewise. It was very tough for Ian to get over the death of his mother. Just like the whole Gallagher family, Ian isn't that great at making friends outside his own community and he hasn't really had many friends other than Mandy Milkovich and his own brother, Lip Gallagher.

And to add to his frustrations, Mandy and Lip shared an intimate relationship, which meant Ian found himself in the middle of all the fuss.

I'm always happy to support the gay community. Ian's a really fantastic part. A non-stereotypical part. And I think a lot of teens — and a lot of gay teens, especially — will really relate to the role," Cameron added.
