Yesterday Mala gave props to RBD’s Christian Chavez for coming out of the closet, in spite of the backlash that this announcement could possibly generate. Now Christian is giving props of this own — to his fans. At a concert in Texas, Christian thanked them for supporting him no matter what:
“I love you with all of my heart. You’ve made my dreams come true and made me the happiest person in the world. Orientation doesn’t matter, what matters is love. Thank you so much,” said the artist as the audience applauded. At that moment the rest of the members of the group came out onto the stage to hug the singer.
That’s good, as I was actually wondering if the rest of them were like “oh, crap” when this news leaked.
I really still cannot stand RBD, but yes, it’s great that he came forward instead of just avoiding the question like so many other stars (ajemRickycoughcoughMartin) do. I wonder if this will push any of the countless other gay stars in Mexico (men and women) out of the closet?

RBD’s Christian Comes Out of the Closet

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?
