The Top 5 Gay Music Videos You Need In Your Life

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3WKJA2dNZIQm-Edr6SNmKQ

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?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
