I don’t need too many reasons to love Gael Garcia Bernal. He’s hot. He’s talented and we’ve written about his good politics here before. But just in case you need another reason to love the Mexican actor. Here’s one: he’s GLBT friendly! That’s right, Gael publically put his weight behind Mexico City’s brand spanking new gay civil union law.

Garcia Bernal, actor Diego Luna and director Alfonso Cuaron were among 51 people who published a half-page open letter in local newspapers supporting the law passed this month by local lawmakers.

“The vote for the civil-unions law was a vote in favor of liberty, social equality and the strength of civil society,” the artists wrote.
