Gay Pride month is here, and that means it’s time to celebrate with a playlist of the best gay songs. Across the U.S.—and beyond—millions of revellers are gathering for marches, festivals and parties, all of which have one thing in common: great, anthemic songs. Music has always been an important part of gay culture. Songs of empowerment, hope and self-acceptance all resonate with the queer community, for obvious reasons. Of course, we also love a good novelty tune—hello, “It’s Raining Men” and “Y.M.C.A.” So, with all that in mind, we set out to create a soundtrack for the perfect Pride party, featuring dance music classics alongside party songs with a few chill-out moments as well. So turn it on, crank it up and let your rainbow flag fly.
