Jessie J, Do It Like A Dude

The Readers Wifes twenty-fourth choice of song with LGBT significance: Jessie J, Do It Like A Dude. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

“And if I was a 2012 teen, confused about my sexuality, I’d imagine statements like “I’ve never denied it. Whoopie-doo guys, yes, I’ve dated girls and I’ve dated boys – get over it” might just feel like some kind of lifeline.”

Pet Shop Boys, The Truck-Driver And His Mate

The Readers Wifes twenty-third choice of song with LGBT significance: Pet Shop Boys, The Truck-Driver And His Mate. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

“A great big howling BRUTE of a record it’s the closest we’ll probably ever get to hearing the fellas ROCK OUT.”

The Singing Nun, Dominique

The Readers Wifes twenty-second choice of song with LGBT significance: The Singing Nun, Dominique. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

“Struggles with her faith, her fame, her sexuality and drugs, not to mention a hounding from the Belgian authorities over unpaid taxes, all took their toll. When nuns go bad.”

Featured Song – Day 21

21 Feb 2012 / Comments Off / in LGBT History Month/by Readers Wifes

Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side

The Readers Wifes twenty-first choice of song with LGBT significance: Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

“With its myriad references to drugs, prostitution and yer actual oral sex (“giving head”) one can only wonder at how in God’s name Lou’s timeless, wistful tribute to a coterie of Andy Warhol disciples ever made it past the censors at the BBC.”

Born This Way, Carl Bean.

The Readers Wifes ninetheenth choice of song with LGBT significance: Born This Way, Carl Bean. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

“I’m happy, I’m carefree and I’m gay… I was born this way”. If Gaga echoed these exact same sentiments recently, ageing Disco heads will remember it as a late-‘70s Lib anthem.

16 Feb 2012 / Comments Off / in LGBT History Month/by Readers Wifes

Jesus Loves You, Generations of Love

The Readers Wifes sixteenth choice of song with LGBT significance: Jesus Loves You, Generations of Love. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

To this day, ‘Generations of Love’ sounds like a paean to a lost generation, a huge regretful sigh.

Featured Song – Day 15

15 Feb 2012 / Comments Off / in LGBT History Month/by Readers Wifes

Echobelly, Great Things

The Readers Wifes fifteenth choice of song with LGBT significance: Echobelly, Great Things. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

“In spite of being the era where – supposedly – girls who were boys liked boys to be girls and did boys like they were girls who did girls like they were boys, Britpop threw up surprisingly few new gay stars.”

Featured Song – Day 14

14 Feb 2012 / Comments Off / in LGBT History Month/by Readers Wifes

Queen, Killer Queen

The Readers Wifes fourteenth choice of song with LGBT significance: Queen, Killer Queen. For 2012 LGBT History Month.

It’s a measure of just how estranged gay and straight people were from one another back then that Queen Freddie could preen his way through the 1970s in black nail varnish and white satin looking like a chiaroscuro Zandra Rhodes and yet… nobody knew.

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
