Play these loud and proud
Britney wishing the gays a happy Pride month and thanking them for the ‘ best nights out of her life’ on Instagram is peak Karen. I don’t think Brit meant to reduce gay rights to ‘ partying’, but this is the woman who believes her fans are referring to her when she sees ‘ Queen B’ pop up in her feed. It’s exactly that kind of delusion that makes her an honorary gay man. You better work, bitch.
We’re celebrating Pride at home this year, but Brighton and Manchester are getting ready for huge virtual Pride celebrations and here are the sounds to pregame. Becky Hill ( pictured) is back with a massive Sigala tune, cowritten with her best mate
MNEK ( yas!). Becky says her 2019 was pretty shitty, and that upbeat summer anthem Heaven on My Mind served as a light at the end of a dark tunnel.
On a similar note, Pose icon Billy Porter just released a glorious disco song with the Shapeshifters and Glitterbox. Finally Ready includes Billy’s iconic declaration of self- acceptance: “When it comes to my heart, I deserve to be choosy”.
If you loved Love, Simon, check out
Keiynan Lonsdale’s new music. Keiynan came out after playing Simon’s love interest, and his new record Rainbow Boy is both a “queer and black AF album”, while sending a powerful clapback to shame.
Sing your pride out to Ava Max’s new song, too. Kings & Queens is a rallying call against rising hatred of the LGBTQ community. “To all of the queens who are fighting alone, baby, you’re not
dancin’ on your own,” she sings. Happy
Pride, beautiful.
