25 Aug Pride Month: LGBTQ+ Representation in the Music Industry
ABSTRACT: This 2023 blog posting gives some background on the origins of Pride Month and activities for 2023 but its real value is in the discussion of how music impacts LGBTQ+ individuals. The author notes that “music has played a vital role in providing a platform for these individuals to express their identities, experiences and emotions. The influence of queer artists and allies in the music industry has been instrumental in promoting acceptance and equality.” The posting highlights artists who have been challenged to change but have used music as a platform to be authentic and make their voices heard so that other people leistening also feel heard and accepted.
