Mexican singer Paquita La Del Barrio, who outraged many last week with an interview in which she said that she would rather see a child die of hunger in the street than be adopted by a gay couple, is now sorry for her remarks, the L.A. Times reports:
"The singer's apology event, set for Tuesday afternoon, will take place at Spartacus, a huge gay disco in Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl, the sprawling Mexico City suburb sometimes referred to as 'Neza York.' The singer is a longtime friend of the club's owner. In one interview since the controversy erupted, Paquita said her comments were rooted in her 'poor education' and small-town upbringing. (She isn't called Paquita la del Barrio — or, 'Paquita from the 'Hood' — for nothing.) In another short interview, she told reporters that 'the majority' of her friends are gay. 'I don't have anything against anyone,' Paquita said."
