Gay anthem
A gay anthem is a song that has become widely popular among, or has become identified with, the gay community; usually with gay men. The lyrics of gay anthems are often marked with hope against the odds, pride, unity, or defiance. The most notable English language gay anthems include "Over the Rainbow", performed by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz; "I'm Coming Out", performed by Diana Ross; "I Will Survive", performed by Gloria Gaynor; and "It's Raining Men", performed by The Weather Girls.
Many gay anthems are in the dance music genre, though the seminal gay anthem, "Over the Rainbow", gained notoriety because it was sung by an early LGBT icon, Judy Garland. Less common, but still notable, are gay garage rock, punk and hardcore anthems, such as a number of singles by Pansy Division. (See also Queercore).
