Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E 🏳️🌈! Beaming with Pride 🏳️🌈 celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies. In this column, we provide background and insight into the respective musician(s), as well as analyze + go gaga over the decadent bops being served up. Furthermore, when the music dictates deeper, more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is articulated to the fullest. All styles of music are welcome while the songs can be classics or brand-spanking new.
