We could fill the blog with songs from Cher, but this, the second single from her 1998 album Believe, is a great gay anthem, and a prime example of her lasting appeal to the our community.
The album was heavily promoted through gay venues and she recorded same-sex versions of this and the title track specifically for clubs. More at gaynet.com.au.
But what’s your favourite Cher song, and why? We’d like to know…
Cheyenne Jackson’s camp but catchy Don’t Wanna Know is from his forthcoming album Drive, and the video features cameos from actors Nick Adams and Matt Cavenaugh, who are well-known to Broadway audiences.
Featuring adult star Derek Atlas, this is a 2012 video from New York’s Matt Ryanz. Dance pop artist Matt has a solid musical background, having been in church choirs, high school musicals and more.
After receiving second place in the Illinois State Music Composition Competition, Matt quickly moved to NYC to study music at the prestigious New York University. While at NYU, Matt was the runner-up for the highly coveted Alan Menken Music Composition Scholarship
New York-based industrial pop singer Danny Blu told Queerty that this 2012 video, which tells the story of a bullied teenager, is aimed squarely at right-wing religious bigots.
“We took a jab at the right wing which uses religion against people,” Danny says. “(We) take that and use it as a weapon right back at them. We took the story of Jesus Christ and made him a modern day high school bullying victim, a perfect parallel.”
