EDITORIAL.- Last day 7, Toni Cruanyes, presenter of the nightly newscast of Televisió de Catalunya "Telenoticies vespre", communicated via Twitter and Facebook his recent paternity. What makes this statement peculiar is the fact that this paternity was shared with her husband, the politician Eugeni Villalbí.
Cruanyes was covering the information of the recent aerial tragedy of the Alps when he received the happy news and had to leave the information coverage to return to Barcelona. The presenter decided to avail himself of his paternity leave and justified his absence on the screen with the following text: «I wanted to share with you that my husband and I have been parents and that is why I will not present the TN for a few weeks «, that spread on social networks accompanied by the endearing image of a plush Mic, some booties and the inevitable bottle.
Toni also thanked the support of his colleagues in the newsletter, especially Ramon Pellicer and Agnés Marques who replaced him at the front of the program.
Some voices suggest that it should not be news for a man to take paternity leave and demand that these types of issues be treated more normally. From Gayles.tv we think that, precisely, attitudes like that of Toni Cruanyes communicating with politeness the reason for his absence at the head of the Vespre Telenoticies, help to normalize the situation of homoparental families by making the circumstance of his recent paternity public with all naturalness.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that we need social models on issues such as availing of existing rights, but not always being used. LGTBI workers must claim the enjoyment of the days they are entitled to marry or, in the case of pairs formed by two men, the period of paternity that is assigned to any heterosexual couple.
We take this opportunity to wish the couple the best in this new stage of their lives.
