Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American recording artist and actress. Her mom was a professional musician (piano and violin) and her father was in the military. She is of Irish and Ecuadorian descent. She travelled a lot with her family following her father's military career.

Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993–1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection", the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998).


Aguilera is a supporter of the LGBT community and is considered a gay icon by many. She was honored at the GLAAD Awards for using gay and transgender images in her music video for "Beautiful". When accepting the award Aguilera said, "My video captures the reality that gay and transgenders people are beautiful, even though prejudice and discrimination against them still exists." In 2005 she appeared on a compilation album titled, Love Rocks, proceeds benefit the Human Rights Campaign, an organization dedicated to fighting for equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people. In 2008 she publicly spoke out against California's Proposition 8 which eliminates same-sex marriage in California saying, "Why you would put so much money behind something stopping from people loving each other and bonding together? I just don't understand it. It's hard for me to grasp. But I would've been out there with my rally sign as well." In 2011 Aguilera was honored at The Abbey, a gay club in West Hollywood, for her contributions to the gay community as the first honoree on their Gay Walk of Fame joining Dame Elizabeth Taylor in being immortalized forever.

When asked by The Advocate magazine if she supported gay marriage, Christina said, "Yes. My trainer married her girlfriend last weekend and we went. It was beautiful. I was so touched by their vows to each other, I totally cried." She added, "I never get people who think being gay is some kind of choice...It really saddens me."

"I'd kiss a girl again. The Madonna thing was a one-off but girls are nice to kiss - nice and soft," Christina Aguilera says on Ananova.
When asked is she was surprised at the reaction to the kiss, she said, "Not really. When you go into something like that, you know people are going to get shocked." She also says it was "super fun."

Christina also said she wanted to kiss Britney Spears, but Britney declined.

Although Christina Aguilera admits to enjoying kissing and looking at women, there is no indication that she has ever had a relationship with a woman. She is married to music executive Jordan Bratman.
