A street leading into the Pico Rivera Sports Arena was renamed Avenida Vicente Fernández on Friday in honor of the late Mexican ranchera and mariachi singer Vicente Fernandez.
"He visited our restaurants many times," said Camacho, adding that the Pico Rivera community supported and valued Fernández's music. The man known as the king of ranchera music died last December at 81 -- before the street renaming came to fruition. A similar tribute in Boyle Heights eventually moved forward but was met with pushback from the local neighborhood council. It raised concerns over a homophobic comment Fernández made in the past as well as accusations of inappropriately touching women.
Isn't that the guy who is such a homophobe he refused a liver transfer in case it contained 'gay cells' or something like that?

They should also put his name in Texas. Texas should apologize for what it did from 1846 to 1870 when more than 100 men & women were hanged on the notorious 'Hanging Tree' many were Mexicans & Mexican Americans & many more were killed by lynching. Blacks were not the only ones
