while i can mainly only speak for sapphic playlists, ive noticed in general that the lgbt playlists were making are really white, cover heavy and… straight?

so heres a (very unabridged) list of lgbt musicians that deserve to be on your playlists way more than that cover of lego house. in alphabetical order:

Against Me! if youre trans & alternative and dont know abt against me - lead by trans frontwoman and punk rock mum laura jane grace - then idk what youre doing. ik theyre p well known, but i still never see them in playlists.

Bloc Party indie rock band from east london led by kele okereke, coolest man on earth, ended oasis w his snark (seriously)

Chris Garneau french-american indie singer reminiscent of spektor’s anti folk, often discusses trauma with very sad, floaty music. very androgynous voice

Christine and the Queens french synthpop by pansexual singer héloïse letissier

Coeur de Pirate french-canadian singer with a more folky vibe reminiscent of of monsters and men. oh, and shes dating laura jane grace. put them both in the same playlist. please.

Doria Roberts 90s american folk singer/songwriter. political and confident. put ‘honey jar’ in your playlist please just do it.

Ezra Furman gay american alternative rock singer similar to neutral milk hotel

Ferras indie pop singer with a strong bowie influence vocally

Frank Ocean yes, you know who he is. have you listened to him? have you? i dont care if you only listen to harsh noise folk backwards - listen to frank ocean.

Gerard Way we all know gerard fuzzpedal emo king friends with ljg way and still i see more artic monkeys in these gaylists (gay playlists)

Grace Petrie folk singer from the midlands, england whose bbfsies w billy brag. has two modes: angry gay, sad gay. what more do you need?

Hayley Kiyoko ok ok ik we all know her shes the token woc in your playlist im putting her on the list anyway because im in love with her

Honeywater has a dubious place on the list due to the other fella but.. this is amandla stenbergs band. amandla. they make music. remember that.

Indigo Girls this is fucking lesbian heritage right here. Old Skool lesbian country singers right here.

the Internet classique gay triphop led by my dream girlfriend, syd the kyd

Jasmine Kennedy soft sad indie folk from the north of england. her sweet, quiet music ranges from melancholic to happy ending bliss. shes stage buddies w grace petrie too. put ‘cardigan sweater’ in your playlist. do it.

JD Samson & MEN nonbinary dance music officianado JD Samson and her new band after le tigre. loud and fun and gay

Jussie Smollet he plays jamal in empire. admittedly, he hasnt brought out his own stuff yet, but his music for empire is beautiful soulful R&B

Sia bisexual pop-ballad queen who sings often abt trauma, mental illness, and abuse

Soko kristen stewarts girlfriend. indie singer with a high, airy voice whose music ranges in topic from trauma to homophobia to the surreal. put ‘who wears the pants’ on your playlist.

Spoonboy genderqueer punk singer from washington dc. try ‘sexy dreams’

Teenage Kitchen airy kidcore ukelele folk from bandcamp

Tegan & Sara look, ok, i know everyone knows abt tegan and sara. the lesbian band. so why are they never on sapphic/lesbian playlists? why?

Thao & Mirah folk/country lesbian mirah teams up w thao, who afaik is also sga, for an album of soft, sweet folk music

Tracy Chapman seriously ok this is History. this is the woman behind ‘fast car.’ very political american folk singer from the 90s. i love her. shes amazing.

Tunde Olaniran R&B / hiphop singer from michigan with a loud, take-no-shit style

Willow Smith yes, the willow smith. she wrote two love songs dedicated to marceline from adventure time. thats all you need to know. shes perfect.

Younger Lovers fuzzpedal energetic indie punk

this is also a list of trans women on bandcamp (check the notes for additions)

also, yknow what, spoken word poetrys getting quite popular now. heres a few lgbt spoken word poets to put in the start or end of your playlist to shake it up:

andrea gibson, toby campion, venus selenite, dia davina, aislinn evans, denice frohman, ollie renee schminkey, jade anouka

note: ive bolded the names of poc to emphasise our lgbt playlists are too white. trans musicians are italicised for similar reasons.

please feel free to add your own!

no ofc not!! we’re accepting people based on what they seem like and how good their applications were, not based on how much activity they get/how many followers they have. its totally fine if youre out!!

[wlwphandomnetwork]

Have they been anounced yet

no sorry!! we will make a post announcing the members as soon as we have them together!!!

[wlwphandomnetwork]

I thought I was bi when I applied turns out I'm a flaming lesbo

good for you man!! im glad you found out a lil bit more about yourself

[wlwphandomnetwork]

everyone waiting for members to be annouced - we are currently just finalizing people and they should be up fairly soon!! we apologize for any inconvenience but we’ve all had a lot going on and its difficult to work things out w four admins who all want different people in!!

[wlwphandomnetwork]

hi i applied for the net but i'm going to be away for a week with no internet so if u message me and i dont reply that's why, sorry

okay thats alright! thanks for letting us know

[wlwphandomnetwork]

sorry, we’re trying our best to get the members together! 

[wlwphandomnetwork]

[wlwphandomnetwork]

applications are closed sorry! if youve already applied then it wont be a problem

[wlwphandomnetwork]

apps are closed!

members will be announced on the 24th, good luck!

[wlwphandomnetwork]

hi! as a genderfluid wlw who is in the phandom and would totally love to join this network, i would like to tell you guys that you should probably just be a bit more inclusive to nonbinary femme people! saying "girls who like girls" is not really correct, because the label wlw was created so those who don't like the lesbian label because they arent always female can have a different umbrella term.of course it includes lesbians and bi/pan/poly people, but its really for nonbinary feminine people!

ye, in the welcome post i mentioned that nonbinary femme/demigirls are welcome!! sorry bout that tho :0

[wlwphandomnetwork]

girls who love girls can be happy

[wlwphandomnetwork]

do u have to identify with she/her pronouns? :/

no! whatever pronouns you prefer are perfectly valid

(we ask this on the application just so everyone is comfortable and being called by the pronouns that they identify with!!)
