June:

A month of change—from light colors to light clothing.

The beginning of long days that stretch into even longer nights.

A shift in season, in structure, in spirit.

It marks both the start of new fiscal quarters and the end of academic terms.

A time of summer flings and the inescapable memories that come with them.

June—designated Pride Month—is a moment to celebrate individuality and collectivity.

To honor the pioneers and trailblazers who dared to live out loud, regardless of the cost.

In that spirit, I made a playlist highlighting some of my favorite LGBTQ+ artists, prioritizing rising talent and recent releases. Hope you find someone new to love.
