Top 10 Best Pro-LGBT Songs

Songs that support people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. This includes transgender individuals, so it should not be confused with gay anthem songs.

These songs provide a platform for expressing solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and addressing various aspects of their experiences. They promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusivity, serving as anthems for individuals of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

Such music plays a crucial role in raising awareness and fostering a sense of belonging among LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies.

The Top Ten

  1. All of the Stars - Jackie Evancho

    Her single was released in August 2015 and is a cover of Ed Sheeran's 2014 song from the movie "Fault in Our Stars." The somewhat controversial video story follows Jackie's real-life experience with a close family member who is LGBT and shows her unconditional support for them.

    Since she first appeared on the scene, Jackie has moved forward and worked on behalf of what she believes in. That's why she was named an official Ambassador for the Humane Society. She has also done fundraisers for the U.N. Children's Fund, Starkey Hearing Foundation, Loma Linda Children's Hospital, Chefs for Seals, and the David Foster Foundation, which focuses on children's organ transplants. Additionally, she has spent time working for her local shelter, Animal Friends of Pittsburgh.

  2. Born This Way - Lady Gaga

    It isn't centered around being gay like the other songs on this list, but it does mention them, and Lady Gaga does it perfectly.

    How is this not #1? Same Love is pro-gay. Born This Way embraces everyone in the LGBT community.

  3. Same Love - Macklemore

    Truly, this is the well-deserved number one. It's all the more significant because it got on the radio and because it's hip-hop - a genre that's usually spewing gay hate.

  4. Heaven - Troye Sivan

    It's about his insecurities with coming out and wondering if he can still get to heaven even though he's gay.

    "Without losing a piece of me, how do I get to Heaven?

    Without changing a part of me how do I get to Heaven?

    All my time is wasted feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh

    So if I'm losing a piece of me, maybe I don't want Heaven."

  5. Take Me to Church - Hozier

    Everything is symbolic and metaphorical, and Hozier has a lot of talent and a strong voice. The song must've taken a long time to write, and it takes a while to understand.

  6. Girls Like Girls - Hayley Kiyoko

    It's a very well-written song with a nice pop beat, but the video is what really shined. I liked the lesbian romance. It was very cute and similar to a straight romance. I loved the idea of girls defending themselves.

    Yes, just yes. This song is a total anthem for me. I love the chorus, "Girls love girls like boys do, nothing new." I really like the accepting vibe it has all around, and I can't think of anything but positive words for Hayley.

  7. Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against Me!

  8. Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

  9. Coming Clean - Green Day

  10. Suffragette City - David Bowie

    Bowie addressed bisexuality long before it was cool.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Rainbow Connection - Kermit the Frog

    Rainbows are a symbol of gay pride.

  12. ?

    She Bop - Cyndi Lauper

    13. The Contenders

  13. Girls/Girls/Boys - Panic! at the Disco

    I love how this mainstream artist has a song with a bisexual theme. The lines "Girls love girls and boys and that is not a choice!" really stick in my head. As a pansexual (I don't care about genitals. I care about who you are), I like to sing those lines myself like this: "I love girls and boys and that is not a choice!"

  14. Changes - David Bowie

  15. One Foot - Fun.

  16. True Colors - Cyndi Lauper

  17. Walk On the Wild Side - Lou Reed

    Another groundbreaker, but again, 5 years after The Beatles did so.

  18. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles

    Nobody else on earth could have released a song like this in 1968. Even Bowie and Lou Reed had to wait another five years.

    As usual, way ahead of their time in 1968.

  19. Change - Christina Aguilera

  20. F*** You - Lily Allen

    I absolutely love this song. It would be awesome if someone sang it to some of the homophobic individuals who twist religion into something disgusting. I honestly don't know how they find enough time to spread so much hate. They really must not have a life.

    This song is perfect. It's catchy, and its message is more than clear. I can't help but snicker as I imagine someone actually singing this to a group of homophobic people.

    I love how blunt and straightforward it is. Lily really didn't hold back, with lyrics like, "So you say it's not ok to be gay, well I think you're just evil. You're just some racist who can't tie my laces, your point of view is medieval." This is sort of me addressing homophobes and transphobes.

  21. Deeper and Deeper - Madonna

  22. Beautiful Ones - Hurts

  23. Poker Face - Lady Gaga

  24. Same Ol' Situation - Motley Crue

  25. Make It Stop (September's Children) - Rise Against

  26. Tell Me a Story - Skylar Kergil

    Skylar is a trans man himself, and it shows through this song, with the childlike innocence of the frequently asked questions that every transgender person has had to answer.

  27. Rise Like a Phoenix - Conchita Wurst

    It's the singer behind the song that makes it so great.

    Maybe it's a message for trans people across the world?
