The Reckoning Presents ‘DIVAS! #Pride 2022’ Playlist

We’re days away from closing out Pride Month, but we’re not letting this unwelcome fact slow down our celebration or our steady march toward the dance floor. The Reckoning has created the ultimate DIVAS! #Pride 2022 playlist to keep the party going beyond June 30th. 

It's no secret that gay men have a long history of idolizing Black female pop stars, many of which are addressed by first-name only—Diana, Aretha, Chaka, Donna, Janet, Beyonce—all of whom, and more, are found on our playlist created specifically for the loyal LGBTQ fans that have been instrumental in catapulting and sustaining the careers of more than one diva on our list. 

“Gays have long sought acceptance, and pop divas have taken us in with open arms when no one else would. They shared their struggles, talents, and tail-shaking bops with us. In return, we’re unwavering in our devotion and support, and will fight for them as hard as, if not harder than, they’ve fought for us,” writes Bobby Box for Canada’s IN Magazine. 

So we invite you to queue up the DIVAS! playlist at home, in your car, or while you're cleaning the crib on a Saturday morning, and permit yourself to dance like no one is watching to music that celebrates the beauty of what it means to be Black, queer, and free, if nowhere else but on the dance floor.
