RBD's Christian Comes Out of the Closet

10:33 H | Topics: Chismes - GLBT - Music

I'll admit that I've been quite critical of the Mexican pop-tart group RBD, their music and their marketing but my mouth dropped open this morning at reading this news:

Christian Chavez, 23, of Mexican pop group RBD, announced Thursday on the group's Web site, www.grupo-rbd.com, that he is gay. He says the recent release of compromising photos of him pushed him to come out. He wrote: "Although I'm scared and filled with uncertainty, I know that I can rely on the support of my fans, their love is bigger than all of this. I ask them from the bottom of my heart not to judge me for being honest and to feel proud of who they are and never make the same mistake I did."

I have to give Christian props for coming out, regardless of the circumstances. What remains to be seen is how fans and parents of fans will react to the news. Will there be a RBD homophobic backlash?

I think it is good that he has come out. This WILL affect the RBD group alot simple because of the mexican fans. The Mexican culture does not accept gays easyaly but hopefully everything turns out fine! As long as he has support he will be fine. The longer he would have waited, the worse it would have been. All i say to him is good luck and dont let anything get you down bud. There will be people for you and some against but always remember those who love you that most and most importnat never for get who you are. Luck!,
