20 Essential Gay Anthems Perfect for Pride Month
It's June, and that means its time to bust out your Pride playlist!
Welcome to Pride 2023!
It’s June, and that means it's time to spend the next thirty days marching, protesting, and dancing — all with a killer soundtrack of gay anthems behind us.
Traditionally, gay anthems often came from straight artists, but as more and more queer artists are getting a chance to write and perform the kinds of songs they want to, we’re getting more explicitly gay anthems, and we love it.
