So finding a guy of the week really isn't an easy thing to do but this week it was a piece of cake. It's Sunday and I already found the perfect guy, Christian Chavez. Now most Americans probably won't recognize that name, and neither did I, but Christian is part of a Mexican boyband called RBD. I chose him as my guy of the week not because I find Mexican men with Orange hair to be a turn on but because this week Christian did something very corageous, he came out.Now, he might not have had much choice, he was photographed in Canada exchanging vows with his boyfriend, but he is still the first major Mexican star to come out of the closest. In such a staunchly Catholic nation that couldn't have been an easy thing to do. Personally, I don't know how it was that all that surprising. I mean look at his hair! And it's usually dyed pink. Come on!
But whether it was obvious or not, whether he was ready to or not he's out there. And he might prove to be an inspiration to millions of Mexicans struggling with their sexualities. So yeah, he's a cutie but this time that's not the reason he's my guy of the week. It's because I want to show that there are people out there who recognize the barriers that he has just broken and who wish him the best of luck...I think he just might need it.

Christian Chavez of RBD has emerged from the closet.
His group is worshiped by millions of kids in Mexico, Central and South America including millions of Spanish speakers in the U.S. Canada and throughout the world.
In these groups of millions are hundred of thousands who have had no one to identify with because they are gay. Christian Chavez and RBD can turn this around and possibly save hundreds of gay youth from suicide or unproductive lives due to self-esteem problems.
This one closet door has created a tremendous opportunity for youth in the Americas.
