Hypeful About Gay Musicians

gay rockstars
Because June is designated as Gay Pride Month, Hypeful received the suggestion to commemorate the occasion by showcasing some tunes from our favorite gay musicians. Always up for doing a themed post, Hypeful accepted the challenge and passes the songs on to you. Yes - bisexual David Bowie is married to a woman, Mika is mum about his sexuality, and there’s still some contentions about who makes Morrissey so bloody miserable. However, we’ve gone ahead and included them in our musical parade.

While you’re enjoying the tunes, you might want to brush up on how gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons have influenced music beyond this list.

MP3s:
Antony & The Johnsons - “The Lake”
Bloc Party - “I Still Remember”
David Bowie - “Let’s Dance”
Final Fantasy - “Adventure.exe”
Chris Garneau - “We Don’t Try”
Grizzly Bear - “Knife”
The Hidden Cameras - “Awoo”
Elton John - “Rocket Man”
Junior Senior - “Move Your Feet”
Le Tigre - “Punker Plus”
The Magnetic Fields - “I Don’t Believe You”
Mika - “Grace Kelly”
Morrissey - “In The Future When All’s Well”
Pansy Division - “Manada”
Queen - “Killer Queen”
R.E.M. - “Electrolite”
Scissor Sisters - “Don’t Feel Like Dancing”
Sigur Rós - “Untitled #4 / Njósnavélin”
Sleater-Kinney - “Oh!”
Tegan & Sara - “Walking With a Ghost”
Rufus Wainwright - “Slideshow”
Patrick Wolf - “The Magic Position”
Xiu Xiu - “I Luv the Valley OH!”

Still not feeling more pride than a bucket of rainbows? How about some bonus gay-themed tracks?

BONUS MP3s:
The Chalets - “Gay Holiday”
Electric Six - “Gay Bar”
Menomena - “Gay A”
The Passionistas - “Going Gay”

Love it. But no B-52’s? They’re actually a band with 3 (2 living…RIP Ricky) out and proud gay men. And Kate’s Pierson is now a lesbian too!
Matt

Where’s Boy George, Bronski Beat & Jimmy Sommerville, Andy Bell of Erasure, The Au Pairs, Adele Bertei, and various other early trailblazers of gay rock?
others

Jun 25, 07 at 3:12 pm

you could add some tracks from husker du, final fantasy, xiu xiu, hidden cameras, momus, ariel pink, et al.

And any artists of color? Latino and black artists happen to be proud too…

Thank you!

Jun 25, 07 at 5:50 pm

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions, everyone! The influences on music made by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons has been tremendous. I would love to compile and share a more comprehensive collection, but such an ambitious project would require more than one post.

Additionally, any exclusion of gay artists of color was completely unintentional. (Although, I’d like to point out that Kele Okereke of Bloc Party is black, Mika is Lebanese, and Freddie Mercury of Queen was Indian.) I had so much fun putting together this post, I’m going to attempt a similiar one in honor of Black Music Month.

Again, sorry I couldn’t include more musicians! However, I love your feedback and please continue to share other artists I was unable to spotlight.

Hey Hypeful….this is awesome!!! Thanks and can’t wait ’till u do this again (when’s the Black Music Month?)…

What about some Cyndi Lauper? She is a great friend of our community and a great singer!
f/m

Jun 25, 07 at 11:28 pm

Sigur Ros (whose lead singer is openly gay) creates music that is at once heartbreaking, yet life affirming.

w00t! Thanks for the music!
RSL

Jun 26, 07 at 5:12 am

Thank you for _not_ putting up the same tired GLBT artists but showing that queer musicians can be relevant and current. Not just hashing out the same old true colors [sorry, Cynd] for the pink love shack. Question though, is that Jamie Stewart [of Xiu Xiu] in the first image? And who’s that smokin’ hottie in the second? Looks like Sufjan on testosterone or something. Great post though. I’m seriously about the thank you for not posting “pride” music. Ugh. That shit is tired and lame.
Darrell

Jun 26, 07 at 5:34 am

Thanks for the music, this was awesome! Happy Pride!
Hypeful

Jun 26, 07 at 7:30 am

@ mikey: June is Black Music Month, so I’ll try to have a relevant post up either today or tomorrow.

@ f/m: I had no idea Jónsi from Sigur Rós is gay! Thanks for the heads up and I’ve added them to the list. That’s really cool and you’re spot-on about their music.

@ RSL: Thanks! The first guy is Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear (he’s also part of a duo named Department of Eagles). The rest of Grizzly Bear are gay as well, but I couldn’t fit them into the pic. The “smokin’ hottie in the second” is Chris Garneau (www.chrisgarneau.com), who does look a lot like Sufjan! Take a look: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/6595/chrissufjanwk2.jpg

@ Everyone: Again, thank for all the comments and you’re very welcome! Keep it coming!

As far as I know, Mika is still in the closet

Or as he said himself in a Dutch gay magazine: “If I’m gay or not doesn’t matter. I don’t see no point in telling the audience my sexual preference.”
