L’11 ottobre è il Coming Out Day, è per questo motivo continuiamo a celebrarlo con un po’ di musica. D’altronde, la musica può solamente unirci e anche farci stare in pace con noi stessi. Dopo una lunga giornata in cui abbiamo percepito solo odio e bullismo, mettiamo le cuffie e finalmente possiamo isolarci da tutto il mondo. Certo, sarebbe bello parlarne con qualcuno, ma magari dopo che la rabbia e la depressione sono passate e possiamo ragionare a mente lucida. Per cui, ecco dieci canzoni che parlano di amore LGBT.

Fare coming out non è mai una cosa semplice, ma non perché è qualcosa di cui vergognarsi. Più che altro, non si sa quale potrebbe essere la reazione della persona che abbiamo di fronte: anche chi ci ama di più, potrebbe rivelarsi omofobo e non accettare la persona che amiamo, e chi non ci ama potrebbe essere pronto a dirci addio per sempre. A volte persino per dei genitori è difficile accettare chi un figlio ama, quindi potrebbe essere utile per voi mettere le cuffiette e immergervi nella musica che parla d’amore.
happy coming out day a chi l'ha fatto, a chi ancora no, a chi non ne sente il bisogno, a chi sta per farlo e a chi purtroppo non è andata bene. sono fiera di voi, siate sempre fierə di essere voi stessə , non sentitevi mai sbagliatə per questo 🤍

Coming Out Day: 10 canzoni LGBT
ABBA – Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
Troye Sivan – Lucky Strike
Cause you’re safe like spring time
Short days, long nights, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
‘Cause you taste like Lucky Strikes
You drag, I light, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you
Gloria Gaynor – I Am What I Am
I am what I am
I don’t want praise I don’t want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it’s noise I think it’s pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame til you can shout out
I am what I am
Diana Ross – I’m coming out
There’s a new me coming out
And I just have to live
And I want to give
I’m completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew it
Oh, I’ll make it throughThe time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I am coming out
Lady Gaga – Born This Way
I’m beautiful in my way ‘cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you’re set
I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down, oh no
So don’t you bring me down today
Little Mix – Secret Love Song
Why can’t I hold me in the street?
Why can’t I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t it be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours
Why can’t I say that I’m in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t it be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours
Cyndi Lauper – True Colours
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Hozier – Take Me To Church
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Macklamore – Same Love
When I was in the 3rd grade I thought that I was gay ‘cause I could draw
My uncle was and I kept my room straight
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face, she’s like
“Ben you’ve loved girls since before pre-K”
Trippin’, yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she?
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math like “Yeah, I’m good a little league”
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those who like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think its a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition, playing GodAhh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don’t know And God loves all his children it’s somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written 3, 500 hundred years ago
I don’t know
