Ingrid (Estefan) and Billy (Andy Garcia) are a Cuban-American couple who are totally taken aback when their daughter Sofia (Adria Arjona) shows up at their Miami home with her new fiancé Adan (Diego Boneta). As the couple plans for a lavish destination wedding in Mexico, credit cards are maxed out and family relationships are tested.

Come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga!
I know you can’t control yourself any longer!
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger!
Don’t you fight it ’til you tried it, do that conga beat!

there a definition of gay icon I’m not aware of? Maybe Qeerty is using one they uploadedthemselves to Urban Dictionary. I think it’d be easier to just count the celebs they don’t consider gay icons.

My “take,” too. EVERYONE is a “gay icon.” Unless you’re an older gay, and then the “gay icons” are far fewer in number. Calling someone an icon makes me cringe.

How is she a gay icon? Her own daughter, who is openly gay, admitted on their talk show that Gloria treated her badly for being gay. She even said it would kill her abuela, Spanish for grandmother. She’s as much a gay icon as Donald Trump

Since when has Gloria been a gay icon???
NEVER

and a day.

To add to the chorus here: When did Gloria Estefan become a Gay Icon? Being a popular singer doesn’t make you a Gay icon. Elizabeth Taylor who worked to have Gay men accepted is a Gay Diva. Maybe review the word “icon” and use it properly.

maybe by “gay icon” they mean people used to dance to her music at gay bars
