as a white bi, I am on the organizing committee for a queer bike ride for pride through the city. I've volunteered to help make the playlist.

I live in a very white northeast USA city, so the organizing committee is basically all white and basically all cis.

I'm obviously trying to keep it mostly upbeat, but try to center non straight artists even if they are "allies" or "icons". Exceptions are fine as long as it isn't all white pop girls.

I know it's doxxing myself but i can send you the spotify playlist so far if you want to see what's missing, or just reply to ideas here.

I have a pretty good start, as like most people, i think i have pretty decent music taste, but i also love learning more.

Thanks!

    Most of these are gay artists without too big of a political message or are more commenting on personal struggle, not too much queer stuff, but I know there's more if you look in related artists.

    • Arlo Parks
    • Moses Sumney
    • Tyler the Creator (his music isn't focused on lgbt stuff but he came out recently)
    • Zebra Katz
    • Minority Threat (not gay/queer but the lyrics are great)
    • DijahSB
    • Dua Saleh
    • Dreamer Isioma
    • Powderpaint/Shonalika
    • PeludoPorFavor [he/him]
