Vogue has been a pride anthem for years. I have yet to be at a pride anywhere in the world (four different countries so far) and not heard it. The lyrics are not explicitly about being gay but it’s message of being who you are and living your best life regardless of any resistance is the whole message of pride. That’s not to mention that Voguing in general was invented by the gay community. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadikaado 4,302 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The thing about Vogue is: It apropriates poc queer culture, turned it into a fad and it was out of fashion when the hype of the song ended.

vixdean 1,061 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I know we all stick to our faves, but some people are just showing some deep historical ignorance. The fact some people here are dismissing Vogue's relevance at the height of the AIDS crisis, originating from a predominantly black gay community in Harlem, and the meaning it had at the time and continues to have, can only be the product of ignorance or bias. A song isn't a gay anthem because it spells out LGBT, but because of the historical connections and ramifications it has. Vogue is an iconic gay anthem and has been so for 30 years. BTW is too, but the product of another time. And it isn't an online poll that will dictate the place both these songs occupy in music history.

It’s literally an homage to ballroom culture tho, it’s the definition of a queer anthem. Y’all don’t seem to quite grasp the importance of the song and how it shined light on queer culture and gave it mainstream visibility, AND on the 90s to be exact. Let’s not be delusional just cuz we want Gaga to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballroom culture, hello? And how important and legendary it was for a mainstream artist to give visibility to a queer scene? In the 90s? I’m just so flabbergasted that y’all really don’t know that Vogue is the embodiment of a queer anthem. Not only that, but it’s been one for far longer than BTW has and definitely had a stronger and more significant impact considering the time period it came out. Madonna making a music video and performing with poc queer members of ballroom culture in the 90s was groundbreaking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
