The best LGBTQ anthems of all time, from the diva allies to the queer artists making Pride music gold.
How does a song become a gay anthem? Like the LGBTQ+ community itself, our soundtrack is vast and diverse. We have recorded our history and contribution to the culture through music, and with this list we acknowledge and remember the forerunners that have made possible the positive changes we’ve seen over the decades. These songs are a testimony to our resilience and excellence.
To keep this countdown diverse, artists were only allowed one song on this list, and it is still growing and changing as our fight continues. As you browse the selections on this list, check out whatyou can take against the anti-LGBTQ+ bills in legislatures across the country. Regressive, fear-based tactics are being used to disenfranchise and silence the LGBTQ+ community, which makes living our truth as important as it’s ever been.
Opening with a sky-high guitar that brings to mind the open plains on a hot day, “American Teenager” finds Ethel Cain tapping into ethereal regions of her voice in a way that brings to mind the Cranberries. The song is earnest yet jaded, familiar yet fresh – kind of like, well, an American teenager. Cain specializes in exploring uniquely American dichotomies, and this one is a glimmering winner.
