Paquita La Del Barrio Begs Media To Leave Her Alone

Mexican Cantina Queen rounded members of the media on 5 de Mayo to beg them to please leave her alone for the comments she made about gay adoption in Mexico a few weeks ago. The singer said that she'd rather see a kid die than to see him be adopted by a gay couple. She had pronounced herself against gay marriage a few days before that. It seems that since she has not been able to be lucky in love she wanted everyone to feel her pain and sing the blues forever.

All kidding aside, I feel bad for Paca. And although I am all for freedom of speech, I am not for careless speech. Why would you say something that would hurt your career so bad? Especially when a big part of her core base is composed of gay people who identify with the singer's struggle in life and her lyrics. She herself has said that her closest friends are gay so all this really makes no sense at all.

What do you guys think? Is it time to forgive her and let her start singing against 'inutiles' rather that the gay community?
