My LGBT playlist has like 10 songs. Please help me add more. Post the name of at least 1 song. If you're feeling particularly helpful, put what category it falls under (L, G ,B, T, FTM, MTF, Q, I, A, etc.).
I have a fair sized list myself :lol: Here's those beginning with 'A' A Great Big World - Everyone Is Gay A Great Big World (feat Futuristic) - Hold Each Other *I particularly like this one* Adam Lambert - Fever Adesse Versions - Pride Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) Arcade Fire - We Exist -- What I recommend is checking out the song thread here on EC
Hey-- Here we go. These are mostly pop-y and alternative, which may not be what you're looking for but I figure it could help others. Some of these are controversial ((We Exist)), some have really sad endings. Most of them aren't specifically LGBT in lyrics but have an LGBT music videos--if they have LGBT lyrics, it's noted. Some of these that are marked as sad have downbeat melodies and/or things don't go well for the LGBT people in the end. Sometimes though showing what LGBT people go through in a music video is important. I'm making this list for myself, too. Only a Girl (Gia) - not sad, LGBT lyrics, sexual music video, upbeat, lesbian Genghis Khan (Miike Snow) - not sad, upbeat, gay All is Full of Love (Bjork) - not sad, lesbian, somewhat sexual music video Potions (SEE) - not sad, sexual music video, lesbian, sexual lyrics Against the Night (Child Actor) - not sad, upbeat, lesbian Don't Wait (Joey Graceffa) - not sad, upbeat, gay Move On (Garden City Movement) - sexual music video, lesbian Beautiful (Christina Aguilera) - not sad, various LGBT One Bad Night (Hayley Kiyoko) - mildly sad, upbeat, MTF Girls Like Girls (Hayley Kiyoko) - mildly sad, upbeat, LGBT lyrics, lesbian Ses Etme (Athena) - mildly sad, upbeat, MTF First Time He Kissed a Boy (Kadie Elder) - mildly sad, upbeat-ish, gay Son of a Preacher Man (Tom Goss) - LGBT lyrics, sad, happy ending, gay Addicted to You (Avicii) - sad, lesbian, somewhat sexual music video Holy (Zolita) - sad, lesbian Night Go Slow (Catey Shaw) - ambiguous, upbeat, lesbian Rumble in the Park (Catey Shaw) - LGBT lyrics, sad, upbeat, lesbian On Your Side (The Veronicas) - upbeat, ambiguous ending, sad, lesbian Start Again (Ryan Dolan) - sad, gay Te Amo (Rihanna) - sad, LGBT lyrics, lesbian Summertime Sadness (Lana del Rey) - sad, ambiguous if LGBT or not (would be lesbian) Take Me to Church (Hosier) - sad, gay Blue Neighbourhood (Troye Sivan) - three videos, some upbeat, sad, gay Another Story (The Head and the Heart) - sad, lesbian Secret (Huntington) - sad, gay Ghost (Halsey) - sexual music video, ambiguous ending, lesbian Warm on a Cold Night (Honne) - upbeat, lesbian, not sad Cliff's Edge (Hayley Kiyoko) - upbeat, ambiguous ending, sexual music video, lesbian Electric Feel (Katy Perry) - cover, upbeat, no music video, LGBT lyrics, lesbian, not sad, sexual lyrics No Scrubs (Bastille) - cover, LGBT lyrics, mildly sad Jolene (The White Stripes) - cover, sad, LGBT lyrics Be My Husband (Ed Sheeran) - cover, LGBT lyrics I Kissed a Girl (Katy Perry) - a complete joke, LGBT lyrics, lesbian Little Game (Benny) - gender roles, mildly sad Same Love (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) - various LGBT, not sad, LGBT lyrics Boys Will Be Boys (Benny) - mildly sad, gay Radio-Friendly Pop Song (Matt Fishel) - satirical, various LGBT/gay, not sad, upbeat We Exist (Arcade Fire) - sad, upbeat, already mentioned Horizon (Luna Blake) - lesbian, not sad Her Lover (Ally & Stevie) - lesbian, not sad, somewhat sexual music video Sleepover (Hayley Kiyoko) - upbeat, sexual music video What's It Gonna Be (Shura) - various LGBT, not sad, upbeat Some of these songs I listen to knowing that though it's not explicitly LGBT in the lyrics, its music video is.

Basically just Sam Smith (Stay With Me is about his boyfriend, I think, and most of his songs are; Leave Your Lover, Like I Can, Not the Only One, and there are a few more! (G) I don't know if these are like what you are looking for. If not I'm sorry.
I don't have a big one, but let me add three songs. David Bowie - Rebel Rebel You've got your mother in a whirl She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl Hey babe, your hair's alright Hey babe, let's go out tonight etc etc Soko - Who wears the pants? You think that two boys is a sin And two girls is somehow sexy In the eyes of God, no matter what, It's "a disgrace!" (That's what they say...) Patti Smith - Gloria (I don't know the background, but it seems to be sung by a woman for another woman.) Joan Baez - Bread and Roses (It's an awesome song, but it's listed here just because it appears on the movie "Pride".)
