To celebrate LGBT History Month, 2013, Polari is publishing a daily series of LGBT Heroes, selected by the magazine’s team of writers and special contributors.

“The ‘Pansy Project’ is an act of queer defiance, it memorialises and commemorates but most importantly, by writing new memories and placing beauty into the scars of our personal and physical landscapes it helps to heal.”

To mark LGBT History Month, 2013, Polari asked its contributors to recall a song that had an impact their own stories.
