For decades, people have been using the unique sound of rock music to explore questions of who we are, to wrestle with the intersections of identity, and to express ourselves. Over the course of the twentieth century, expressions of queerness were criminalized and marginalized, often making queer music one of the only safe places to voice these feelings. Queer themes in rock music can be found in songs by the LGBTQIA2S+ community and allies alike.
