To help kick off Pride Month GLAAD release their curated list of 10 LGBTQ women in music you need to be listening to!
Hayley Kiyoko –
The artist lovingly known in the community as “Lesbian Jesus” is back with new music just in time for Pride Month. Singles from her upcoming album Panorama include “chance,” “found my friends,” and the sapphic song of the summer “for the girls,” proclaiming “Summer’s for the girls, the girls who like girls.”
Lily Rose –
The GLAAD Media Award winner for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist, who got her start on Tik Tok, is changing the country scene one song at a time. Lily Rose’s debut album Stronger Than I Am, proudly tells her stories of love and loss as a lesbian, something country fans may not be used to hearing.
Jade LeMac –
Up and coming queer pop-star Jade LeMac also kickstarted her music career using Tik Tok. With over 1.2 million followers on the app, the 18-year old is making waves with songs like “Aimed to Kill” and “Constellations.”
and more … Betty Who, Angelica Ross, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, girl in red, Kehlani, Japanese Breakfast, and Kat Graham.
These are just a handful of the incredible LGBTQ artists changing the scape of music right now. Each year, GLAAD honors talented musicians with the Oustanding Music Artist category at the GLAAD Media Awards. These individuals deserve to be celebrated this Pride Month and beyond, for sharing their art and creating a positive impact for the community while doing so.
