“Pride is a celebration, but it's also a protest. It always has been and always will be.” — George Takei

Pride is about dancing in the streets and marching in them too. It’s both a celebration and a movement — a time to honor queer joy, love, and resilience, while continuing the fight for equality, safety, and visibility. This month, I created two playlists that reflect those dual energies. One is made for the dance floor — a soundtrack for glitter, freedom, and unapologetic expression. The other is for the cause — music rooted in protest, purpose, and the voices that have carried this momentum forward. Whether you’re celebrating with friends or marching with community as a member of the LGBTQ+ community or as an ally, I hope these songs help you feel seen, connected, and proud. So many more artists and songs deserve to be here — and they will be. Pride is forever. We’ll keep adding, keep dancing, and keep marching.

This month’s special edition Pride labels were created to celebrate identity, expression, and solidarity — and these playlists are an extension of that same spirit. Music, like scent, has the power to evoke emotion, tell stories, and bring us together. Whether you’re lighting a candle with a Pride label or pressing play on one of these mixes, I hope it reminds you that Pride is both personal and collective — a celebration and a movement.
