    I am a huge fan of Tegan and Sara (even though technically they aren't lesbians), Jill Souble, and Ani DiFranco.

    Well...Kele Okereke, the lead singer from Bloc Party is either gay or bisexual. And I do love Bloc Party.

    Tegan and Sara are definitely lesbians.
    Duran Duran
    Ani Difranco
    P!nk
    The Cliks
    Joan Jett & the Blackhearts (She's at least bi, and her latest album Sinner is like a huge coming out if you think about it.)
    Amanda Palmer (The Dresden Dolls)
    The Indigo Girls
    Kaki King (if you like guitar playing, you should TOTALLY listen to her, she 's amazing)
    Missy Higgins
    t.A.T.u. (Yulia and Lena aren't really lesbians, but they're music is gay themed)
    Elton John
    That's just to name what I can think of...

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Queen! Even though the rest of the guys are straight, Freddie Mercury was as gay as a daffodil.

    Actually, nobody in Duran Duran is gay. Although I love their stuff. :slight_smile:

    As far as great gay songs, I don't think anything will ever top this. Remember - this is 1977. Tom Robinson isn't singing about history. He's singing about what's happening to him, and his friends, on a daily basis. And at the start of his career, when he had everything to lose by announcing his homosexuality at a time when virtually no famous person would ever think of doing so, he went on TV and sang this.

    The British Police are the best in the world
    I don't believe one of these stories I've heard
    'Bout them raiding our pubs for no reason at all
    Lining the customers up by the wall
    Picking out people and knocking them down
    Resisting arrest as they're kicked on the ground
    Searching their houses and calling them queer
    I don't believe that sort of thing happens here

    Sing if you're glad to be gay
    Sing if you're happy that way

    Pictures of naked young women are fun
    In Titbits and Playboy, page three of The Sun
    There's no nudes in Gay News our last magazine
    But they still find excuses to call it obscene
    Read how disgusting we are in the press
    The News of The World and the Sunday Express
    Molesters of children, corruptors of youth
    It's there in the paper, it must be the truth

    Sing if you're glad to be gay
    Sing if you're happy that way

    Don't try to kid us that if you're discreet
    You're perfectly safe as you walk down the street
    You don't have to mince or make bitchy remarks
    To get beaten unconscious and left in the dark
    I had a friend who was gentle and short
    Got lonely one evening and went for a walk
    Queerbashers caught him and kicked in his teeth
    He was only hospitalised for a week

    Sing if you're glad to be gay
    Sing if you're happy that way

    So sit back and watch as they close all our clubs
    Arrest us for meeting and raid all our pubs
    Make sure your boyfriend's at least 21
    So only your friends and your brothers get done
    Lie to your workmates, lie to your folks
    Put down the queens and tell anti-queer jokes
    Gay Lib's ridiculous, join their laughter
    'The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?'

    Sing if you're glad to be gay
    Sing if you're happy that way
