LGBTQ+ Representation in Music

Looking for ways to keep the conversation going about LGBTQ+ issues with your ERG, community group, or PFLAG chapter? Welcome to Something to Talk About, a monthly series designed by PFLAG National’s Straight for Equality program to create conversation about LGBTQ+ issues. Each month we’ll offer an article on LGBTQ+ topics and suggest a few questions you can use to lead a discussion.

We hosted a conversation about this article as a part of PFLAG Connects and Something to Talk About Live on Thursday, June 4. Did you miss it? You can still watch it here!

Have feedback about how your conversation went? Let us know by emailing [email protected].

Article:  25 Essential LGBTQ Pride Songs

Source: Rolling Stone

Author: Suzy Exposito, Jerry Portwood, Justin Ravitz, and Rob Sheffield

Questions for Discussion:

  1. Many of the artists on Rolling Stone’s Pride Songs list are not queer-identified. So, what makes a song queer? 
  2. Can you give examples of artists who often get left out of the conversation about LGBTQ+ music? What was their impact and legacy? Why do you think they didn’t get their due?
  3. How can we use queer music and Pride anthems to build bridges across differences?
