60 Songs for Pride Month 2022

Pride celebrations are returning in-person to many places in 2022. However, if the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that Pride is neither solely about places nor solely about people – it’s about connections, and finding togetherness even when it’s difficult. Pride has physical roots in the Stonewall Inn, but also in the music that played on its jukebox, the music to which queer people of yesteryear could dance and feel free for a moment. So whether you’re planning to party big, small, or not at all, you can still find queer connection and community through these 60 songs. You can also check out our Pride month song compilations from 2019, 2020, and 2021 for more inspiration!
