celeb news Billboard: Born This Way is the top pride anthem of all time

[Infernal Paradise]

That's what this ANTHEM deserves

 

A timeless and universal, all-inclusive hymn that has become the biggest rallying cry for LGBTQ+ communities around the world and will outlast generations. Gaga truly left an indelible mark on culture with this one. What an incredible song and legacy.

 

 

 

 

And that's on IMPACT.

I remember in July 2011 the gays BLASTED the BTW album and you could hear it on the street all the time. It was iconic. That was also incidentally the time when I realized I'm not straight

[lestat111]

she probably bought that list. because, in 2011 it was not that hard to make a "gay anthem", she just used gays. top 5 should be songs/atrists who made gay anthem before this queerbaiting, someone like dianna ross, cher, madonna..

[Vitaly]

She deserves because of the blatant "no matter gay straight or bi" lines alone. She did not sugar coat it. She normalizes the words, making it not or less tabooed, even though some radios are still censoring that part because of homophobia.

I would put Dancing Queen (ABBA) and Fireworks (Katy) at 1 and 2, but i'm just being an ass. BTW has really made its mark the past decade

aww, boo ******* hoo

 

alexa play Born This Way by Lady Gaga

 

[Rican]

As expected Beyoncé and Britney Spears missing from the lost. They are constantly pandering the gays not actually doing anything for them. 

[LikeaRebel]

I Will Survive deserves to be #1. 

[HASHTAGPOW]

Kinda homophobic to not include Sweet But Psycho

Born This Way is explicit and gets straight to the point. Unlike any other LGBT "anthem" 

This. This is what differentiates it vs almost every other LGBT anthems. Such an important moment in pop music. 

[Solaria]

A legendary track off a legendary album 

[WalkAway]

33. “Beautiful” Christina Aguilera

 

Should be higher!

[youngpopariana]

I wonder what the predominantly older gays on Datalounge have to say about this ranking list. I fear for them dragging Stefani chile…
 

OT : Gaga did the damn thing with BTW so I ain’t surprised she’s at #1. Congrats TRICON !

Hearing the word “gay” used in a #1 song really defined my teenage years for me 

 

and as a Mexican I enjoyed and understood her use of “chola” 

 

I’ll never forget wearing my rainbow born this way zumies bracelet around in middle school

2011 was a safe statement for ha. 
 

Anyways the song is cringy as well.

True colors for sure, BTW is like she tried to squeeze as many words as possible, I think chola is included.

As it should 

 

OT: queen of gays, queen of embarking on a philanthropic crusade at the height of her career, queen of anthems, queen of performative ethics, etc etc

The others in the list are cute too
