What do Winston  Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope,  Joan Crawford, Mae 
West, Johnny  Depp, Muhammad Ali, and Pope John Paul II have in common with 
renowned gay showman Jade Esteban  Estrada? All have been honored with the title of 
Kentucky Colonel,  Kentucky's highest acknowledgment of ambassadors of 
goodwill and fellowship  around the world.  
What most of them lack in common with Estrada (with the possible  exception 
of Crawford, West, and JP2) is the ability to fill out a dress and  hold an 
audience enrapt with a hysterical history lesson.  
Bringing to life a passel of these new characters, Col. Estrada  returns to 
Houston this month with his ICONS: The Lesbian & Gay History  of the World, 
Vol. 3. The award-winning solo musical comedy show, scheduled  May 9, 8 p.m., 
benefits Gulf Coast Archive and Museum of GLBT History and GALLO  (Gay & Lesbian 
Latin Organization). 1415 Bar & Grill, 1415 California  St. Details:
