Paquita La Del Barrio, the Mexican singer, is tired of everyone remembering she said terrible things about homosexuals, so please stop badgering her!
To be fair, Paquita isn’t as bad as Mike Huckabee, who continues raging against gay adoption and then saying he’s not the one making it a big story as he continues addressing it. But having responded to Mexico City’s gay marriage and adoption rights by saying she’d rather see a kid die than go to a gay family, and then apologized for it, she’s now tired of being known as That Bigoted Lady Who Should STFU.
It’s a reasonable request. Any famous person has the right to ask for some privacy. But when stupid famous persons said stupid things, they waive that right. And while we’d encourage anyone who has a problem with Paquita’s views on gay parenting to stop buying her records and concert tickets, it’s also perfectly reasonable to continue pointing out that, hey, this woman doesn’t deserve your respect.

She should spend some time giving back to the gay community, then she might have a shot at redemption.
Jon (ugh yep that one)
nope.
Fitz
I am willing to cut her some slack in her s-c artery. Does that count?

Don’t mind paquita’s past comments, she’s just miffed that she sees an aging drag queen every time she looks in the mirror.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Shove another burrito in your vile mouth, you hate filled miserable old crunt………….

She should do a benefit for a Mexican Gay organization that educates, cough, people.
Either that or deal with it. You don’t get a pass just for saying you’re sorry.

Sorry,lady, the damage is done. Way to maintain hostility towards a minority with that dumb remark! As a mature thinker (ahem!), you should know better. As a celebrity (ahem! ahem!), you should be more savvy about cultivating a dignified public image. Make a sincere attempt to clean up your mess and we’ll reevaluate.

Leave my Paquita alone, you white trash people!
Andy
How about a new rule? If you look like a drag queen…

Apparently someone forgot there’s a whole lot of us faggots in the entertainment industry, doesn’t matter if it’s Mexico City or Montreal. You want to stop finding turds in your bidet, you’re gonna have to do a lot better than some weak ass, after the fact apology lady.
adman
no. i’m out.
CHEEKIEY
OH, HELL NO!!!!!!!

What Paquita La Del Barrio needs is Jenny Craig.

Back off bitches, leave my Paquita alone!!!

The problem with her apology was that it came off as a publicist’s attempt for her to do damage control, and not that she had a sudden realization that her lifelong belief system was wrong (48 hours after making the hateful statement). Hoping that a child would die rather than being with a loving gay family is not something that people are going to forgive easily, let alone forget. Anita Bryant isn’t remembered for her music; she’s remembered for her bigotry.
OnCloud9
what if she recorded a duet with Lady Gaga, could we forgive her then?
Xtian99
until they can get me glass of water in mexico that does not give me the the shits, they should shut up on all issues.

She needs rehab by Elton John, like he did with Eminem, although Eminem is not really nice to gays or women still.

I told you to leave my Paquita alone, you bitches, back off man, back off! Woo hoo! I’m bad…
Superman
I’m still so angry with this heifer, I’d like to kick her square in the taco.
PaquitofromtheBlock
I love my Paquita.
