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:

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

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:

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)
Lesbians on Ecstasy - Giggles in the Dark (with extra zine)
