Pride Essentials

Apple Music Pop

Editors' Notes LGBTQ+ artists haven’t always been as visible as they are today, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t always there—and always a vital part of pop music and the cultural fabric. As we reflect on the activist roots of Pride, and while the struggle against injustice and police brutality continues around the world, we’ve brought together some of the strongest queer voices from the ’60s to the present in an attempt to trace the story of LGBTQ+ activism and resistance over the decades. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.
