“We brought together LGBT people from every background with a revolutionary global playlist “
LGBT contribution to music, fashion and the arts in general is well known, and we can all reel off lists of innovative queer icons that set new trends. This is especially true of club culture, partly because so much of the LGBT experience has been formed in nightclubs. Music is an integral soundtrack to our lives – of coming out, making friends, finding lovers, socialising and politicising, in bars, basements and lofts – whereas for straight people much of everyday life is a source for connecting with kindred spirits.
