gimolas suggested this thread so here we here. Basically a thread to house/rec music that fit the title's description. Bonus points if it's not a really famous or mainstream artist, so as to give them more recognition! I'll start with

 I'm gonna rec Mika. He's gay and does gr8 pop songs. My favorites are Grace Kelly, My Interpretation, and We Are Golden. I haven't listened to much of his recent stuff because I'm lazy, but the Life in Cartoon Motion album at least is worth a full listen through. |

Bif Naked is openly bisexual and has done many songs about other women. She is truly an amazing and underrated artist. Please give her chance if you haven't, her stuff is just wonderful. She saved my life. I couldn't recommend just one because so much of her stuff is too good and important to me. I'll leave these here as a starting point.
She's truly a wonderful woman. |

YEEESSSSS. Okay, here we go:
And these are covers, but when sung by a female artist they take on a whole 'nother tone...
And of course... literally every Mary Lambert song. |

Off the top of my head, Ani DiFranco and Rufus Wainwright are some great LGBT artists. Ani:

Cam Clarke is an openly gay voice actor. Back in the late 90s, he released an album called "Inside Out". The purpose was to provide classic love songs tailored to fit a gay perspective. I think it worked quite well and it is such a pleasant experience listening to these songs. He's been my celebrity crush for so long now and I just love his voice.
Alberta Hunter was a lesbian artist popular from the 1920s-50s. She enjoyed a comeback in the late 70s/early 80s. Here is one of my favorite songs by her. She was quite talented.

lol nocte I see you liking the Adam Lambert videos, so this one's for you.  It makes me want shoulder spikes. Also, so I'm not just spamming Adam stuff - Angel Haze is pansexual and agender. (Note that the video contains some pretty intense themes that can make some uncomfortable, so if you actually watch instead of just listen, this is a heads up.) |

Haha, okay, I have a feeling I'm gonna be That Guy who just spams this thread. Here's some more. The frontman of Sigur Ros, Jonsi, is gay. |

I'd recommend LP (laura pergolizzi). She's been in a relationship with a woman since 2015 according to Wikipedia and she makes really good music.

I adore Brandi Carlile. Most people would probably be familiar with her song "The Story," but here's an underrated, sad gem that if I am remembering correctly she wrote partially about her struggles coming out to her brother: |

Shura's 'What's It Gonna Be' is a good video - it's got a description blurb from her specifically about what the song's about. Also, I tend to describe it as 'deceptively heterosexual,' because it looks like it'll be your typical het romance video then pulls the rug out from under that idea.
Also, there's the ever popular on Tumblr Genghis Khan. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...
