Sad gay love songs
You know, this was supposed to be my self-imposed deadline for “Love Songs for Lesbians ”. I had it drafted and all ready to go. And then…I guess the easiest way to set it is that I got my heart stomped on? I don’t generally let people receive close enough to be adj to hurt me, but oh man. I didn’t really view this one coming. It’s been less than 24 hours, and I’ve just learned that people could cry enough to create their faces raw. And I love her so much that I’d give anything to be able to forgive and neglect, and yet I can’t verb myself to do that.
But enough about me. I suppose everyone gets their heart torn to shreds sooner or later. And just like sometimes, words cannot describe how amazing your relationship is…well, sometimes there aren’t enough words to describe how much it hurts when things decline apart.
I don’t know whether listening to sad songs is some form of ridiculous masochism, or whether it’s therapeutic. But if you’re ever in the mood for a platter of homo heartbreak…here it is

The Ty Dolla $ign-assisted track goes through the motions of having mixed feelings for a capricious lover, whom Kehlani decidedly refers to as "girl." Alongside a bluesy laid-back beat, the singer expresses how much she misses their past relationship and wants to "do it over, bring it back, and rewind it." But as the bridge repeats, "You gon' get my hopes high, girl," the singer seems well-awar As a known homosexual, my two greatest skills are yearning and making playlists. Exhibit A: In high school I made a mix CD for my crush that included &#;Both Hands&#; by Ani DiFranco, &#;Wicked Game&#; by Chris Isaac and my very own cover of &#;Love Song&#; by the Cure (recorded on Garage Band using my dad&#;s acoustic guitar). Yearning is a inescapable part of the queer experience, and in this cultural context, we are yearning more than ever. We&#;re ending long-term relationships. We&#;re getting back together with exes. We&#;re digitally U-Hauling into a shared Google Drive in the absence of queer human touch. It hurts, but with the right soundtrack, it can hurt so good. My personal anguish is our mutual aid. I give you Songs For Gay Pain, a Spotify playlist that will help you sink into the delicious sternum-tug of longing while you&#;re waiting to stroke a face. Enjoy the playlist in its entirety or scroll down to find specific tracks for specific flavors of longing. ?si=toz20PldTIitcREj5vVMrg Welcome to the playlist you probably didn’t contain on your bingo card this year: a series of songs spanning from gospel music to &#;90s folk to contemporary singer-songwriters, all curated by a drag queen with a number one Christian album under her belt. I’m Flamy Grant, and I’m honored that BGS invited me to share the songs that healed my very gay, very religious trauma. My first record was called Bible Belt Baby, so I know a thing or two about growing up in the shadow of a religious fervor that wants boys to be boys, girls to be girls, and gays to hold it in the closet. Here are a few of the songs that helped me not only to come out, but to let this little beam of mine keep shining in the faces of a lot of people who’d prefer it were hidden under a bushel. Not today, gatekeepers. Not today. – Flamy Grant &#;If You Ever Leave&#; – Flamy Grant Oh, hello darling. I’m a drag queen with wares to sell. Of course I’m starting off this playlist with my new single! It is, at least, very much on topic. This ballad fr
