55 BT GAY SONGS OF ALL TIME (LGBTQ PRI SONGS)

"20"I'm Comg Out" by Diana Ross20"I'm Comg Out" by Diana RossCred: AmazonApparently, Chic's Nile Rodgers was spired to wre this funky 1980 dance h for Diana Ross after seeg multiple drag queens drsed as the sger at a New York gay club.

While “I Will Survive” seems like the obv choice for a Gaynor classic, “I Am What I Am” has gayer origs: the song, penned by out poser Jerry Herman, was wrten as the fale performance to close out the uber-gay Broadway mil La Cage x Foll.

Debutg at the top of charts across the world, the song is straightforward s tentn to empower the LGBTQ muny: “No matter gay, straight, or bi / Lbian, transgenred life / I’m on the right track, baby / I was born to survive, ” the superstar mands. And like her smash rerd, Bean’s 1977 track (which was prevly rerd by fellow Motown rerdg artist Valento) was forthright s gay lyricism: “I’m happy / I’m reful / I’m gay, ” the cheery-voiced sger proclaims over a dis beat.

GAY ANTHEMS

Cher had always been a gay in (those spectacular Bob Mackie outfs created for The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour – and the sp-off formats that followed – saw to that), but her forays onto the dancefloor were rare sce that brief flirtatn wh dis at the end of the 70s and hs like Take Me Home.

THE ULTIMATE GAY ANTHEMS & PRIDE CLASSICS — VOLUME 1

Sure, RuPl had already broken before this song and movie (see our number one song) and the mid-’90s were surprisgly gay-iendly — To Wong Foo was sandwiched between the release of two other celebrated and succsful mastream LGBTQ films, The Adventur of Priscilla, Queen of the Dert 1994 and The Birdge 1996.

Although only reached number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, was a number one h on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play, large part bee so many gay men loved the song — after all, was fun, sexy, danceable and mpy. For those unfaiar, the New York Cy ball scene was an LGBTQ subculture where different ho — mostly Black and Lat gay, bi, lbian and trans people — walked (or peted) for trophi tegori such as Face, Body, Butch Queen Realns, Femme Queen Realns, miscellaneo drag and Vogueg.

But I’m sure Ru uldn’t have imaged that 27 years later, not only would his song still be played gay bars, but people all over the world, both LGBTQ and our alli, would still be sayg l om this song, thanks to their cln a realy show lled RuPl’s Drag Race.

Out lead sger Tom Robson penned this punk/new wave anthem for the London gay pri para and has sce been nsired Bra’s natnal gay anthem, even though was at one pot banned by the BBC Rad 1 on their Top 40 Chart Show. The origal versn of the song discs Bra’s treatment of the LGBTQ muny, cludg nouncg police raids on gay bars, but there have sce been 10 versns of the song released, wh Robson updatg the lyrics to reflect what was gog on the LGBTQ muny at the time (i.

” Not only was that a ntroversial issue at the time — only six years after the Stonewall Rts, most straight people thought beg gay was a “choice” — but also was one of the first songs wrten for the LGBTQ muny.

Produced by famo dis pneers Grg Moror and Pete Bellotte, the song ronated wh a queer dience bee of s unabashed claratn about lovg your body and s sexual sir at a time when beg gay was still nsired a sexual viancy. Although Elton John didn’t nfirm his sexualy for another two years, when he me out to Rollg Stone as bisexual 1976 (he did not intify as gay until the late ’80s), his flamboyancy and unnventnal looks did not go unnoticed by the LGBTQ muny at the time. The song’s stat as a gay anthem was only solidified by s cln the soundtrack to 1994’s The Adventur of Priscilla, Queen of the Dert, as well as by the Pet Shop Boys’ ver the ’90s, which they first performed at an AIDS chary event.

NO SHA, BUT THERE’S A WRONG WAY TO MAKE A GAY ANTHEM

To this day the song has some of the most hont, direct and pellg lyrics about the stggl of beg LGBTQ: “So many tim we have to pay/For havg fun and beg gay/It’s not amg…Yet they make fun of how I talk/And imate the way I walk/Tell me if you n/What mak a man a man. Instead of wrg a song wh thly veiled metaphors about relign, queerre ins Team Drch stead cid to opt for “Hate the Christian Right!, ” a fiery, scream-rock track lettg relig homophob know exactly where they uld stick their prayers. But was also a smash h for a straight artist enjoyg the kd of succs gay artists don't receive nearly as are great, but 's easy to look at the charts and fet that there are actual LGBT folks sgg gay anthems.

Scissor Sisters - “Let's Have A Kiki” While the Scissor Sisters have had a number of dance hs whose mpy style was adored by gay dienc, "Let’s Have A Kiki" solidified them as song was released jt time to be played at every pri event of 2012.

Pet Shop Boys - “New York Cy Boy” The Pet Shop Boys are still loved by the gay muny after all the years — even though only one of the two members is openly the duo has had que a few songs that are perceived to be about gay ncerns (fallg love wh men, the AIDS crisis, etc. The duo played the same game as the Pet Shop Boys for some time, alludg to their sexualy but not actually statg (sger Andy Bell me out two years before "Rpect" was released) all the while, their lyrics based on passn and love ronated powerfully wh and beyond their large gay fan base.
