Gay anthem

In 2012 LGBT magazine The Advocate named Madonna the greatest gay icon in music.[1]

A gay anthem is a popular song that has become widely popular among, or has become identified with, the gay community. Not all songs labelled as "gay anthems" were written intentionally to become gay anthems, but those that do are often marked by themes of perseverance, inner strength, acceptance, pride, and unity.[2] Research in 2007 suggested that the song most commonly identified as a gay anthem is "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, and described the song as "a classic emblem of gay culture in the post-Stonewall and AIDS eras".[3][4]

Other classic gay anthems include Village People's "Y.M.C.A.",[5][6] The Weather Girls's "It's Raining Men",[7][8] Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out",[4] and ABBA's "Dancing Queen".[2]
