Chippendales finally has an openly gay dancer...

...and he's on the cover of Instinct mag's February issue. His name is Brandon Pereyda and except for that annoying little facial hair thing, he's pretty hot. Instinct editor Mike Wood spent a weekend following 23-year-old Pereyda around Vegas to find out what its like to be the lone out member of the shirtless, bow-tie-wearing institution and how he feels about performing in front of countless screaming women each night.

Says Brandon: "I guess it is monumental for this company," he said. "Chippendales guys are often pegged as being gay. And they're not. And I think this will clear the slate. Theyre all straight, but we would do anything for each other and thats what I really love about working here. They don't view my be gay as a negative thing at all.

They're all straight? Oh Brandon, you're so very young...
