Post your favorite LGBT musicians, LGBT music videos and LGBT themed songs.
My favorite is probably Lauren Bousfield (pic related). She probably started her transition too late so now she's a helpless hon but i really like her experimental music.

she also produced music under the name "Nero's Day at Disneyland"

I also like some songs of Conchita Wurst however i'm not a big fan of pop music.

In music video, Sigúr Ros' controversal video takes the prize for me. I can relate to it, and I really like the nordic atmosphere.

And finally my favorite gay themed song is by Rammstein. It's sad, happy, poetic, horny, and everything good possible. However the musicans are not gay but they dont mind taking controversial topics e.g. homoseuxal orgies.

Enjoy this masterpiece. Also if you arent an eurofag here's an english translation for the Sigur Rós song: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/vi%C3%B0rar-vel-til-loft%C3%A1r%C3%A1sa-good-weather-airstrikes.html
And for the Rammstein song, to get what it means: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/mann-gegen-mann-man-against-man.html

Freddie mercury obvs
>inb4 Placebo
They suck and I hate how faggy the lead sings.
>>6897355
Also op, this might be something for you. It's not nearly as good as Rammstein though.

He sings about him wanting to clone himself so he can fuck himself. Just google translate the second verse.

Judas Priest is the true answer.
>>6897417
Thats nice but if i'd want to listen to Rammstein wannabe Neuer Deutsche Industrial Metal bands then i'd just look up some Eisbrecher songs. They are my favorite copycat band

atm Mykki Blanco & Arca are my favorites (new album soon for both of them ayyy); a collaboration doesn't seem impossible imho

nah, i really can't stand his voice
There are tons and from a lot of different genres, it couldnt make me happier.
Carseat Headrest is the only recognizable iteration os 2000s indie rock that wasn't literally 2000s indie rock. He pathed the way for himself as a very nervous and unsociable guy, his sexuality is tied into his personal discomfort. Very much recommend, if only for Twin Fantasy, wwhich is free on his bandcamp.
My fav queer hip hop artist has his unique persona too, Cakes da Killa. A lot of the other queer rappers tried to defy expectations of femininity in one way or another, Cakes da Killa embraces the faggotry and turns it up to eleven. He's constantly and gleefully profane about his sexuality.
"I spit that shit and make the homophobe a hypocrit." He's also just truly talented as a lyricist and a vocalist.
Please listen to Eulogy. It's fantastic.
DJ Sprinkles's Midtown 120 Blues is essential deep house. She made this return from outlandish house music into deftly rhythmic pulse.
The last huge one I would point out is Rufus Wainwright. He makes the well overdone role of singer songwriter fresh again by sheer talent. Also essential, make sure to check out Poses.
There are probably more lgbt essentials out there but trust me these must be listened to.

YOU TAUGHT ME A LESSON
>Rammstein
Embarrassing.
>>6897617
>DJ Sprinkles
Fuck yeah. Although K-S.H.E was never really outlandish, not sure what you mean by that. Routes Not Roots is one of my favourite albums of all time. But you should know that Terre is EXTREMELY critical of queer politics. You should read some of his articles on the Comatonse website.
Had the pleasure of meeting Terre in person, extremely friendly and insightful to talk to. Got a hug from him too.

>Embarrassing
Not fruity enough for you?
>>6897762
No, they just occupy the same tier as Linkin Park.

Where Dancefloors Stand Still is quite an awesome mix in the same vein
>Got a hug from him too.
I'm jelly desu
but
>him
?! I thought Terre would have preferred "they" or "she"..
Also, another great (transgender) Deep house DJ I like a lot is Octo Octa: 'Between Two Selves' is really sensual

Yeah, that's a good one! I really like the remix compilation Queerifications And Ruins, too. There are some gorgeous tracks on there.

RuPaul actually had some decent tunes

>>6897749
oh I meant that DJ Sprinkles was returning the genre of deep house from "shitty HI-NRG vocal house" to minimal beat laden reflections.
That wasn't clear though, my b.

Courtney Barnett is my favorite lgbt musician. The way she sings about everyday life with her gf is oh so comfy.

Came to post this. Twin Fantasy and Teens of Denial are some of my favorite albumss. Beach life in Death is such an relatable song about be a sad lonely gay
Does sufjan count? He isn't out but he has sung a song about being in a hhomosexual relationship (predatory wasp)and seems pretty effeminate
>>6899584
>Does sufjan count?

Yes.
>>6898583
