By Lindsay Zoladz Dear listeners, A few weeks ago, I asked you to submit songs to help create the ultimate Pride playlist. As usual, you delivered.
Big time. Today’s Amplifier is made up entirely of your suggestions and your stories. Some of these songs gave you the courage and enthusiasm to come out, and some are the tracks that you think best encapsulate the spirit of Pride.
A few might be a little obvious — could we really have a Pride playlist without Diana Ross and Sister Sledge? — but that just makes them easier to share with your chosen family.
Some of these songs address the queer experience directly, while others have been adopted — perhaps with a flair of camp — as unofficial anthems.
