Song Contest 87: LGBT+ theme

[Dancake]

Oh man oh boy I,, hh , Hello!! I’m Danny, nice to meet you. OK let’s start,,

[+] flashy image

I’d like to see your choices of music with LGBT+ themes (or songs written and performed by LGBT+ people that makes the theme queer because they are singing it in first person)

Rules for this theme
-No musicals/showtunes

[+] buncha Rules that i may or may not understand

Submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- Songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- Listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

- If your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- The top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.

- Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- Winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

General song rules:
- No eurovision songs
- No reality show/competition covers
- No songs already submitted in a songtest
- There is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

Each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- If you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- Extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.

If you’re sending on Discord, I’m Dancake#6054
Since I have never posted on the site before, and only played in two song contests ever, I’m figuring this out as I go- - I don’t know what I’m doing !! Don’t fully expect me to be 100% on time with things, I’m tryin my best.
Since he and I live together, if I’m not getting back to you within a day go ahead and bother TheLordOfAwesome here / Burnitup#9061 on Discord (I got his permission)
