Actor and comedian Alec Mapa, who starred in “Ugly Betty” and makes regular appearances on ABC’s “Switched at Birth,” is among thousands of gay parents in Los Angeles. He adopted his son Zion, 9, four years ago with husband Jamison Hebert.

“We’re just your average same-sex couple, tri-racial family down the street,” joked Mapa, whose performance film “Alec Mapa: Baby Daddy” will show at the upcoming Outfest Film Festival on July 11 at 5:00 p.m.
