Gloria Estefan talks about being a gay icon with a gay daughter

Gay icon and Latin pop trailblazer Gloria Estefan talks about being in a “really good place” with her 25-year-old daughter Emily, who is openly queer. After working on their relationship in therapy, they’re continuing those conversations during the Facebook Watch series "Red Table Talk: The Estefans," which also features Gloria’s niece, actress and model Lili Estefan.

The second episode (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=808...) is an emotional bloodletting during which Emily confronts the legendary icon about how she reacted after Emily came out to her: “I was like, ‘Hey, I’m in love with this girl,’” Emily says to her mother about her relationship with partner Gemeny Hernandez. “The first thing you said was, ‘If you tell your grandma and she dies, her blood is on your hands.’”

During the episode, Gloria tells Emily she’s remembering the conversation “in a different way.”
