Songs for gay men
Thirty days of summer is a pretty paltry window of time to observe the LGBTQ+ community, and Pride is so much more than a month of parades and celebrations – it’s life. And while we’d never baulk at an excuse to celebrate everything that Self-acceptance stands for, we also believe that any moment is the perfect moment to crank up these gay songs and travel that rainbow flag.
That’s why we’ve assembled a tune playlist perfectly calibrated for Pride Month and beyond, featuring some of history’s greatest queer artists and LGBTQ+ allies who remunerate more than lip service. You’ll find party anthems, pop songs, disco infernos and punk-rock proclamations, so there’s no need to wait for the celebration. This is your all-seasons, all-time-great Pride playlist. Catch the aux cable and blast it loud and proud.

8 Essential Gay Affectionate Songs
When it comes to love songs, pronouns matter! Many artists don&#;t hold to think about this when they write their hits, but for same-sex attracted men, the conclusion of whether or not to comprise words that will let the audience know they&#;re crooning specifically for a male partner can be a tough one.
On one hand, it&#;s a reflection of who they are as a person and it&#;s honest. But on the other hand, in today&#;s overly-political climate, that selection might turn some off, stupid as that might be.
Here, we choose to highlight these tracks by brave musicians, as they remind us all that love is desire is love.
