Our qv22 cover
model is Sal Morales. This sexy 27-year-old Mexican/Sicilian currently resides in San Jose, California where he works as an accountant. Currently, he is single and is looking for a good man who has a good head on his shoulders-someone who can take care of himself. Sal enjoys running, swimming, biking, working out, and anything outdoors. Above all, he enjoys spending time with his daughter, Cassandra Monique Morales, whom he says, "She is the best thing that ever happened to me. She is going to be 5 soon and is just amazing. She is my angel from heaven. I love you Cassie!"

When we asked Sal to name one of his major triumphs in life, he responded, "I think the biggest triumph for me was coming out to my parents. I always knew who I was, but my parents made it more difficult to be comfortable with who I was. My mother made it clear that she disliked gay people and that none of her children better be like that. So on the day I told them, they disowned me and my world was shattered because everything I knew was gone. Eventually, everything turned out okay, and today my parents and I are the best of friends now. They support me in everything I do, and I would go through this experience all over again because at the end, love did triumph over ignorance. I love you mom and dad!"
