I remember the early years of our friendship and it’s really like nothing has changed. And if I did, it was in joke form from my friends. This is when Sergio and I met.Īs middle school progressed, I found my people and didn’t have to face constant sexuality questions.
It was a group of girls, boys, and everything in between. Throughout middle school, I hung out with a very. I was constantly asked for a girlfriend at home, and I felt like I had to have one. Teacher that had a nice butt. I, of course, ignored the signs and went on to have the weirdest straight middle school relationships you could ever think of (no offense if you’re reading this!!). I noticed my eyes got lost looking at the charming little 6th grader and that I would stare way too long at the 20-something-year-old P.E. It wasn’t until about 6th grade that I realized those kids who called me gay for years might be onto something. (Really, I was the funniest little kid ever.)
At the end of the day, my little heart knew that no matter what I was being called, or what they said, I was the class clown and everyone (for the most part) loved me. Still do.) At that age, I don’t think I realized what it really meant, I just knew those kids were being mean. different? Kids in school would call me “gay” or “girlie” because I hung out with girls and didn’t like to play rough. This wasn’t necessarily when I realized “I like boys” but it was when it was brought to my attention that I was. The earliest memory of “being gay” starts in about 3rd grade or so. 1/2 of Sergio and I thought we should share our stories with you of how we came out. And because we love a good fashion moment, don't forget to don your best Pride apparel (and your most colorful rainbow makeup) while you do.Hi all. So press play and let your rainbow flag fly. Regardless of your particular taste, there's bound to be something here that will get your toes tapping. Each of these songs captures the spirit and strength of the LGBTQ community in all its gorgeous diversity. Whether that's watching the best LGBTQ movies, reading great books by LGBTQ authors, one of the best ways to celebrate Pride is through music - even if you don't have a celebratory bash planned. Most of us already know how important the arts are to the LGBTQ+ community. That's why we've put together a list of songs by queer artists that celebrate that love is love, ranging from classic hits to more recent tracks by today's most powerful voices in music.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to craft the kind of playlist that will keep the party going long after last call. You've got to choose the right songs to fit the mood, including heart-stopping LGBTQ+ anthems and Pride songs that will get the dance party started, the scream-along favorites that will set the mood for the rest of the day (or night) and if the vibes are right, maybe a few slow jams to take things down a notch. Other than the invite list, creating the perfect playlist for a Pride Month get-together might be the most important task on your to-do list.
