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. As you browse the selections on this list, check out what actions you can take against the anti-LGBTQ+ bills in legislatures across the country. 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. Besides the best-known songs that are essential to a list like this, we wish to highlight the queer musicians who deserve a spotlight, too. There are Billboard Hot 100-topping sensations and hidden gems that are forgotten or yet to be discovered instant classics and songs that grew to be our community’s favorites. There are introspective slow jams by queer artists and allies that mirror our struggles with self-acceptance and social rejection.

While it’s impossible to define exactly what makes a song “gay,” this list definitely isn’t straight. These songs are a testimony to our resilience and excellence. 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. ![]() Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.How does a song become a gay anthem?
