I have been watching the Spanish News channel lately, and they have been discussing if gay couples should be able to adopt children. Like always this is a very controversy issue, many people including myself believe that they should be able to adopt these children. But of course there are those people who are negative and say no way. This very famous Spanish singer Paquita, said during one of her interviews that she would rather “have a child die then be adopted by a gay couple.” Of course they all began to boycott her, and she apologized to the gay community. This is ridiculous how can, she wish death upon a child who has the opportunity to be in a loving home. I believe as long as a person is financially and mentally able to care, for a child who is in need of a family let them adopt. I have met gay couples who have been together for fifteen years plus, and they say they are content with their lives, but always feel an emptiness in their hearts and homes. I just heard on Monday that Ricky Martin came out of the closet, stating that he was gay (we all knew this already). Ricky a father of twin boys has had many interview with magazines and said he is very happy with his son’s and does everything from diaper changing and feedings all by himself. This is a good example of what parents regardless of sexual preferences should do. There are many people out there who have babies and fail to care for them. I think that people who want to adopt children should be able to as long as they can provide a loving and caring home.

  1. This is controversial, Olivia, because it's asking us to rethink our idea of "family." Remember the Rottenberg chapter on definition? Very, very important.

    How is the Spanish news different from what we see here in America?
