And because we love a good fashion moment, don't forget to don your best Pride apparel (and your most colorful rainbow makeup) while you do. So press play and let your rainbow flag fly. Regardless of your particular taste, there's bound to be something here that will get your toes tapping. Each of these songs captures the spirit and strength of the LGBTQ community in all its gorgeous diversity. Whether that's watching the best LGBTQ movies, reading great books by LGBTQ authors, one of the best ways to celebrate Pride is through music - even if you don't have a celebratory bash planned. Most of us already know how important the arts are to the LGBTQ+ community. You deserve to live with dignity and show people your pride. Youre a normal person and a beautiful person and you should be proud of who you are. That's why we've put together a list of songs by queer artists that celebrate that love is love, ranging from classic hits to more recent tracks by today's most powerful voices in music. Its about getting past the question of whats wrong with me, to knowing theres nothing wrong, that you were born this way. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to craft the kind of playlist that will keep the party going long after last call. You've got to choose the right songs to fit the mood, including heart-stopping LGBTQ+ anthems and Pride songs that will get the dance party started, the scream-along favorites that will set the mood for the rest of the day (or night) and if the vibes are right, maybe a few slow jams to take things down a notch. It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not. You’re just looking for an excuse to hate.
Stop using God to justify your prejudice. Being gay is not a crime and it is not a sin.
Other than the invite list, creating the perfect playlist for a Pride Month get-together might be the most important task on your to-do list. Get over it love is too beautiful to be hidden in the closet.
