The Top 5 Gay Music Videos You Need In Your Life

In This Article:

There was a time when openly gay male artists were unheard of. There are plenty of people in the mainstream who are out today. However, it wasn't always easy and many began their careers closeted. There are currently a ton of openly gay artists who make music fully embracing their sexuality. When you have a matching visual to such music, the result is magic.

Here are the top five music videos by gay artists you need in your life.

5. MIKA - "Good Guys"

The simplicity of this video is why it deserves a spot on this list. Due to the simplicity, it allows the viewer to listen to the lyrics of the song. The lyrics themselves describe the significance of men, and gay men particularly.

4. Todrick - "I Like Boys"

Dubbed his "coming out song," this video allowed YouTuber Todrick Hall to proclaim his sexuality to the world. While most probably aren't shocked, his unapologetic way of doing so makes this video so special.

3. Pansy Division - "I Really Wanted You"

Pansy Division are pop punk legends. Having began their band in the early nineties, their catalogue details the gay male experience. They got mainstream recognition when they opened for Green Day on their "Dookie Tour." This helped get MTV to play this video on their "120 Minutes" program back in 1996.

2. Kevin McHale - "Help Me Now"

Having graduated from "Glee," Kevin McHale is ready to make a statement on his own. That couldn't have been made clearer than in this video. The first single on his new EP, "Boy," has gained a lot of online recognition. The subject of the song is made clear and McHale's dorky dancing is quite endearing. Plus, there's a virtual reality twist, for good measure.

1. Troye Sivan - "Lucky Strike"

Troye Sivan is practically a phenomenon in the gay pop world. His direct way of expressing his sexuality through his work is unparalleled. Currently on tour supporting his sophomore album, "Bloom," this video is the Summer vibe we're all searching for. Artsy, sunny, and a hot male model to boot. What more could a gay boy ask for?

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.
