For lesbian and bisexual gals, there's not much offered for them on the radio. Endless girl x boy love songs parade by, without so much as a nod to the LGBTQ community. Do not despair, sapphic ladies, because this article is for you. Get your music app ready for some catchy lady love that's actually present in the lyrics rather than just hinted at in the music videos.

1. "Girls like Girls" by Hayley Kiyoko

"Saw your face, heard your name, gotta get with you

Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new"

Hayley Kiyoko’s song "Girls Like Girls" tackles the struggle of having a crush on a girl with

a boyfriend. Hayley revealed in an interview that the song is a "female anthem for a girl stealing another guy’s girl," rather than the typical "guy steals another guy’s girlfriend."


2. "Boyfriend" by Tegan and Sara

"You treat me like your boyfriend

And trust me like a like a very best friend

You kiss me like your boyfriend

You call me up like you want your best friend

You turn me on like you want your boyfriend

But I don't want to be your secret anymore"

This song is about dating someone who isn’t quite ready to admit their sexuality yet and ends up stringing you along while they figure themselves out. No one wants to be a dirty little secret, after all.


3. "Strangers" by Halsey feat. Lauren Jauregui

"She doesn't kiss me on the mouth anymore

'Cause it's more intimate than she thinks we should get

She doesn't look me in the eyes anymore

Too scared of what she'll see, somebody holding me"

Halsey’s song "Strangers" uses "she" four times in the first four lines, making it impossible to interpret it as anything but a lesbian/bisexual lovesong. For such a big name in the music industry to make a song like this is a huge milestone for LGBTQ music. It doesn’t hurt that it’s a total bop, either.


4. "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u

"And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed

They say it's my fault but I want her so much

Want to fly her away where the sun and rain

Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

When they stop and stare – don't worry me

'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me"

Here’s a bit of a throwback to 2002. This song is about a girl in love with another girl, and her mind is racing throughout the song with new, mixed emotions.


5. "Big Jet Plane" by Alok and Mathieu Koss

"Be my lover

My lady river

Can I take you

Take you higher"

This song is a remix of a cover of the original. In this version, a woman sings the lyrics with haunting beauty. The beat is so damn catchy that I’ve been playing it on repeat ever since I found it on Spotify.

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.
