Don't get us wrong – we like getting glittered up and dancing to ' Vogue' as much as the next person – but here are ten pro-Pride tracks that also deserve their moment to sparkle. Lil Nas X wrote the country rap single Old Town Road which went viral on Tik Tok 2019 before reaching number one on the US Hot 100 charts. To celebrate Pride in London week, and the parade this Saturday, we’ve collated an alternative LGBTQ pride playlist for those of you who are sick of hearing Kylie's Greatest Hits or another screeching rendition of Cher’s “Believe”. And that’s without mentioning all the personal stories of LGBTQ people in their day-to-day lives around the world.

Males mounting one another is often dismissed as a show of dominance. It’s been an incredible year for LGBTQ visibility so far: Caitlyn Jenner had the most glamorous breakout moment of all time when she appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair, Krystal Frasier then started the hashtag #MyVanityFairCover to shine a spotlight on all the trans women who don’t get asked to be on the front of glossy magazines, Ireland voted YES for same sex marriage, UK’s political parties finally took notice of gay and trans people in their manifestos (except for UKIP), Miley Cyrus launched an LGBTQ homeless charity with Joan Jett, and trans voices became more prominent in the media with the help of Dazed favourites Laverne Cox, Hari Nef and Andreja Pejić. Two Majingilane male lions reinforcing the social bonds that keep a coalition strong.
