10 Amazing Songs For And About Queer Women

The Daily Dot

Even with its recent uptick in LGBT+ representation, modern media is still inundated with heteronormativity, so here's an oasis of gay girl love in the sea of straight.

1. Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko

"Girls like girls like boys do."

Not only is the song beautiful and full of sapphic goodness, the music video is raw and touching.

2. Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato

"Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type."

While more about experimentation, it's still a jam.

3. She Keeps Me Warm by Mary Lambert

"And I can’t change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to."

Expanded from her verse in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's 'Same Love,' this song is gorgeous and strikes so true.

4. Jenny by Studio Killers

"I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead."

A cute electropop number about falling in love with your best friend.

5. Closer by Tegan and Sara

"So let's make things physical
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical."

To be fair, every Tegan and Sara song is hecka gay.

6. Love You Anyway by Ji Nilsson & Marlene

"Whatever you say when you shut me out
I'm gonna love you anyway."

A lovely song about enduring love despite difficulties.

7. Girls by Beatrice Eli

"I've got the girls on my mind
All the time."

A girl talks about how much she likes girls.

8. What's It Gonna Be by Shura

"I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna let you love somebody else but me."

A great song with a music video about an adorable high school love story with all of the gay feelings.

9. I Don't Do Boys by Elecktra

"I don't do boys, I just do girls."

Both the song and video are aggressively gay. You're welcome.

10. Girlfriend by Icona Pop

"All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend ."

A celebration of being pals with a gal.

Honorable Mention: Ghost by Halsey

While the song is about a guy, Halsey's video is definitely, enchantingly gay.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
