Father’s Day – Gay Latinos Celebrate

Louis Ortega and Christian Barco
Melissa Logan Haun Luis Ortega, left, with his adopted son, Robert, and partner Christian Barco, who died suddenly last year. They were part of a small but apparently growing number of families in Arizona with same-sex partners as parents.

Luis Ortega plans to spend Father’s Day with his son, Robert, at their favorite park – where they will honor the memory of Luis’ late partner and Robert’s other dad, Christian Barco, who died suddenly last year.

Hard numbers are difficult to come by, but Ortega appears to be one of a small but growing number of adoptive gay parents in Arizona, where advocates had feared that a 2011 law giving preference to married couples would discriminate against gays.
