So this week we welcome perhaps our youngest ThursGAY yet into our little hall of fame. Chris Colfer, from the breakaway hit Glee gets that honor. Unlike ThursGAYs before him, Chris is a true sign of the ever changing times as he never had a "coming out" moment...he's just always been openly out and proud! Born in 1990 in a conservative small town in California, he faced bullying and prejudice, but that only became fuel for his artistic fire! His character, Kurt, faced those same road blocks, only this time his story could inspire the world! We were just itching for a fabulous gay high school student role model, who could tell us when we dress badly, and sing like an angel. He reminds me of "Fancy Pants" from the movie School of Rock all grown up. Most recently he won the Golden Globe for best supporting actor, so at least the wonky Hollywood Foreign Press thinks he rocks. But seriously his speech was moving, and he dedicated his award to all the kids out there that are bullied and don't think it gets better. So conrats to you, Chris you've certainly hit the high note in our gleeful hearts.
