Ricky Martin writes to Puerto Rican governor in LGBT rights call
Ricky Martin has urged Puerto Rican lawmakers to back measures that would extend adoption and other legal protections to the US territory’s LGBT residents.
The gay pop star wrote to Puerto Rico Governor Alejandro García Padilla and members of the Puerto Rico Senate and House of Representatives earlier this week.
The 41-year-old called for “the same rights for all Puerto Rican citizens”, adding: “this is what we are asking for.”
A similar march in February drew an estimated 200,000 people.
She said the Puerto Rico Government favours eliminating unequal treatment based on gender or sexual orientation.
