If there’s one fact about music, it's that it serves as a safe space for self-expression, creative freedom, and wearing one’s heart on his, her, or their sleeve. This Pride Month and beyond, artists from the LGBTQIA+ community are making sure that their voices are heard and their rainbow flags raised.

Here are five LGBTQIA+ artists who deserve a spot on your playlists.
