Alt Revue’s Picks for Pride!

As many of you know, every June marks the celebration of Pride globally! Pride is a celebration and an acknowledgment of the struggle for equality for members of the LGBTQ+ community worldwide. It takes place in June to commemorate the demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community in Greenwich Village, New York at the Stonewall Inn in 1969. Demonstrators were fighting for equal rights and protesting police brutality experienced in the community. While we have come a long way since 1969, we still have a long way to go.

In honor of Pride, we have decided to share 30 songs from members of the LGBTQ+ community! This list is in no way an attempt to be comprehensive, rather it features tracks from national and regional artists in an effort to lift up the community during Pride through their art! See what we cooked up for you below!
