Of Puerto-Rican descent and brought up by his lesbian mother, Lopez grew up believing he was homosexual because he was surrounded by homosexual men who abused him in many ways. He has written two novels about his early experience in the "gay" community. He later changed his mind about his sexuality, and became convinced that a child benefits from having a parent of both sexes, wherever possible; and that to deliberately deprive them of this is a violation of the child's rights. Now married with a child, he is opposed to commercial surrogacy, commercial adoption, and same-sex parenting. He has founded the '''International Children's Rights Institute''', of which he is currently President.
