Music has long been a beacon of light for the LGBTQ community, at times a call to celebration and other times a source of solace.

The songs documenting the queer experience are as diverse as the community itself, and a reminder that everybody's story plays out at its own tempo.

While there have been many iconic anthems to soundtrack Pride parties and gay gatherings alike, there are equally as many songs to turn to in the more introspective moments of life.
