At the BBC S2022E09 - LGBTQ+ Hits at the BBC

Join us for this celebration of pop's greatest LGBTQ+ stars whose gender and sexuality are central to the story of their individual careers and the amazing songs they've created.

Our rainbow alliance of amazing artists includes George Michael, Boy George, Freddie Mercury, Beth Ditto, MNEK, Lil Nas X and Barry Manilow. Some pushed boundaries and challenged gender stereotypes from the very start, others only revealed their true selves after years of success and speculation – but all have played their part in changing the world of popular music and the sounds that we listen to and love.
