:D

I can make a Pride flag out of vinyl records :) And the fact that all the records in the photo are queercore makes it all the more perfect.

From left to right:

Pansy Division - Valentine's Day (red)
Team Dresch - It's A Conversation (orange)
God Is My Co-Pilot - Gender Is As Gender Does (yellow)
Tribe 8 - Bitch (green)
God Is My Co-Pilot- On a Wing & a Prayer (blue)
Subtonix - Into The Fire (purple)

Because I do literally have pride in my queercore vinyl records, here goes:



Aren't they beautiful? :) From left to right:

Bikini Kill - New Radio
God Is My Co-Pilot- Gender Is As Gender Does (female cover, clear yellow)
God Is My Co-Pilot- Gender Is As Gender Does (male cover, clear yellow)
God Is My Co-Pilot - On A Wing & A Prayer (blue)
Pansy Division - Valentine's Day (red)
Pansy Division - Queer To The Core
Pansy Division - For Those About To Suck Cock (clear)
Subtonix - Into The Fire (purple)
Team Dresch - It's A Conversation (orange)
Team Dresch - Hand Grenade
Tribe 8 - Allen's Mom
Tribe 8 - Pig Bitch (green)
V/A - Stop Homophobia (with Fag Bash, Black Angel's Death Song, Pansy Division, Happy Flowers)
V/A - There's a Dyke in the Pit (with Bikini Kill, Tribe 8, Lucy Stoners, 7 Year Bitch)
V/A - There's a Faggot In The Pit (with Glee Club, Goodgrief, Filth, Up To Here, All You Can Eat)

And speaking of vinyl and queer bands I've just arrived at the conclusion that about 10% of the bands in my vinyl records collection have out LGBT band members in them. Which is funny because it's consistent with the "1 person in every 10 people is either lesbian, gay or bisexual" statistic. So in my case I can say that about 1 vinyl record in every 10 vinyl records in my collection is by a band with out LGBT members in them, lolol.

So just to name a few...



Again...aren't they beautiful? :) From left to right:

Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way
CSS - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above (red square-shaped vinyl)
CocoRosie - God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me (picture disc)
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)
Erasure - Sometimes
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax
The Gossip - Listen Up! (picture disc)
Hercules and Love Affair - You Belong (blue vinyl)
Kajagoogoo - Hang on Now
Klaus Nomi - Nomi song
Pet Shop Boys - I'm With Stupid
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Le Tigre - TKO
The Hidden Cameras - Ban Marriage (clear with red and blue splatter vinyl)
Thompson Twins - Lay Your Hands (diamond-shaped picture disc)

And....my ultimate all-time favorite gay LP:





It actually has the legal ages of consent for homosexual relationships between men in european countries (in 1984) listed on the inner sleeve, pretty cool:



And props to Peter Saville for designing this 12" single cover:





I love the band, I love the song, and I love the cover. I've read the lead singer of Visage, Steve Strange, is openly gay. Even if it's not true it deserves a mention here just for the fact that the record cover photo is so lesbian-ish, lol.

And last but definitely not least...my all-time favorite lesbian LP (not so much because of the album cover, more due to my undying love for coloured vinyl, even more when it comes with cool extras! And the band itself is really good)
