Shownotes

The final stretch of our Top 100 80s Gay Pride Songs is here; and it’s everything. From Bronski Beat’s defiant “Smalltown Boy” to Madonna’s bedroom-pop rebellion, these last 20 tracks are a glittering parade of power, heartbreak, ecstasy, and evolution. This is where dance floor freedom met personal revolution. Where “I’m Coming Out” was more than a lyric; it was a mission. Where synths soared, voices roared, and being yourself meant everything. We close out this special Pride Month bonus series with nothing less than icons, anthems, and a legacy you can still feel pulsing through the speakers.
