The 2010s are coming to an end, and music is gayer than it's ever been. Gay anthems have evolved, though they still revolved around themes like celebrating your sexuality, unrequited love, overcoming hardship, and ultimately invoking a sense of community. Previously, pop divas have been ubiquitous with gay anthems, but for the first time this decade, we're finally seeing a push of actual LGBTQ artists in mainstream media.
Fast forward 20 years and we got songs like 'Believe' by Cher or 'Beautiful' by Christina Aguilera to keep us inspired.Īnthems usually have a few defining qualities. Probably remixed over a trap beat, but nevertheless, they are still celebrated in our community. 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor or 'I'm Coming Out' by Diana Ross are still played in gay clubs around the world. Your mind probably immediately goes to the classics.
