Essential Ecqueerlibrium

Quote: "I’m queer," I told my Tinder match, who was an extremely hot straight dude. When that confused him, I added, “...and bisexual.” I date people of all genders, but my queer identity is so much more than a label to clarify who I date and have sex with. He seemed relieved to know that sex with him was still on the table and that queer wasn’t a synonym for gay, which, even in 2019, can still confuse the best of us." - Cosmopolitan

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF BUT WOULD RATHER CUT TO THE CHASE (THAT'S MY NAME! LIKE MY PLAY ON WORDS HUH!? FULL OF TRICKS LIKE THAT. MY FRIENDS CALL ME 'DAD' BECAUSE OF MY JOKES AND DANCING SKILLS. BUT BEST TO KICK THIS LIST OFF WITH A QUID PRO QUO ABOUT ME AND I COULDN'T DO BETTER THAN P!NK WITH HER - LET MY FINGERS DO THE WALKING HIT (its not part of the playlist so please don't think I'm totally of track (yet):

INTRO/BIO:

I can't help myself really my pulse quickens, my squinty-bobbly eyes dilate and personal places THROB much harder than my heavily beating heart, at which point I may come across (not what you're imagining!) as strange, slightly deranged and scary. "Lock up your daughters! - especially the girls who look like sons!"

Lets get one thing straight... (just the one thing) my life-partner is of the opposite sex to me. I love SEX and well, he regularly 'has a headache!' Of course, that's not what I meant. I'm teasing but you can probably sense that this article may also turn out to be peppered with perverted puns and indecent innuendos but please bare with me as I do have some good tunes to listen to whilst you read! I hope you enjoy! xxx

Before we begin to go through the songs that have shaped me and turned me on let me tell you the rest of the story - quite briefly - 'this one time in bandcamp'... I walked into a gay bar "STRAIGHT", my mind and body behaved in so many mysterious ways that my whole demeanor changed, I came out of that club like a cum-hungry chameleon rainbow-glittered slut!

ELECTRIC 6 - GAY BAR (uncensored)

I walked to the taxi rank feeling high and horny like I had just had my first boner and I owned it. I was PROUD very proud and so was my friend 'Mary'. Hey! My first real 'reference' to MUSIC, music is my life, which is what this article is or should be focused on and about. So less about me more of the music!

TYLER MOORE MARY - RAGEOUS

Our fetish for 'swapping gender' role-play in bed brings this following song, which original artist I can not seem to find, brings to mind this video anyway, as I like to sing or hum it to him through naughty gritty teeth in time with the pounding. He doesn't listen though he's usually too busy trying to stuff pillows behind the headboard to stop it banging against the wall. *starting to worry about us now*

JET BOY JET GIRL - SOULTRAIN (mash up )

• “Love Him And Let Him Love You.” ~\James Baldwin
• “Nature Made A Mistake, Which I Have Corrected.” ~\Christine Jorgensen

FAITHLESS - IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG

This always happens to me when I find myself in and around a crowd or a group of friends in my community, I like to think that I am included in the LGBTQIA+ community. I can't help but feel that these are 'my people' who are, quite clearly, far too glamorous, educated, PROUD to be associated with the likes of someone like me.

SAM SMITH - I'M JUST A MAN

I am Queer but to be clear (oh and a poet who doesn't show it) because, as a person who has always been mostly in other sex relationships, I have a mildly challenging case of IMPOSTOR SYNDROME which leads me to believe that I could be perceived, (Chase get to the point and stop with all this poetry malarkey!") as some strange sort of foolish person who hasn't got a jar of glue *a clue* about sexuality but just likes 'jumping on the bandwagon'.

I.M.T. - THEME FREE YOURSELF I.M.T. (Miss Girl Hopes 2 Become Mix)

While you might’ve heard the word QUEER used as an insult, the term “queer” has recently been reclaimed by the community to be empowering and create a sense of community, rather than derogatory. Queerness encompasses an intersection of sexual orientations

Identities not limited to, but including, Bi-Sexual (this is the umbrella that provides me shelter from the storm.. or has it?) Really, a lot of people think that most bi-sexual people would just f*ck everyone. I lean to agree about me - I'm also quite horny with a high libido so yup. Fortunately, people are more educated now and with so many new sub-genres in sexual orientations it creates more of a unity and form just like with music, poetry and comedy with my favorite artists from the LGBTQIA+ communities going back in the day!

MOUSSE T. - HORNY '98 (Mousse T.'s Extended Mix)

It is still unsure whether Alison Jiear is straight, lesbian or bi-sexual but people still enjoy rumors questioning celebrities' sexual orientation. I remember a beauteous drag act performing this next song in a smokey nightclub based in Greater Manchester's, Stalybridge aka Staly Vegas, UK. I danced on poppers all night until I wasn't sure which was banging harder my head or my heart. PURE BRILLIANCE.

ALISON JIEAR - I JUST WANNA F**KIN' DANCE 15th Anniversary Edition

I'm a bit of wild card and a class of contradictions so as a bit of an unusual choice for an 'anthem' but Andrea Gibson has almost a cult following and I'd definitely smash them! The following performance is a bit of me and well a bit of us all really. As Hannah Gadsby said in one of her comedy shows on YouTube not all gays are loud and busy and always into partying. Gadsby says, "my favorite noise is the sound of a teacup finding its place on a saucer! -some of us can be quite quiet souls". So can I sometimes:

ANDREA GIBSON - MAYBE I NEED YOU ft. Kaylen Krebsbach

Sometimes I'm like that - other times I'm the girl at the side of the road with her panties (or boxers as would be knowing me) round her ankles, behind a bush somewhere nursing a cigarette and balancing a pint of cider in the air whilst trying to pee!

BACCARA - YES SIR I CAN BOOGIE

“The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts.” ~\Barbara Gittings

“My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.” ~\Audre Lorde

”We need, in every community, a group of angelic troublemakers.” ~\Bayard Rustin

MACKLEMORE - SAME LOVE

LOVE IS LOVE WHEN IT BOILS DOWN TO IT AND ALTHOUGH MOST OF MY ARTISTS WERE PROBABLY NOT PART OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY OR EVEN GAY ICONS THE MESSAGE IN THE SONGS SHINE THROUGH AND PROVES LOVE IS LOVE AND CAN BE TRANSFERRED ACROSS GENRES, GENDERS, SPIRITUALITY, SENSUALITY AND SEXUALITY TRANSCEND WHICH CAN BE SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING CHOSEN TRANSCENDENT LGBTQIA+ 2021 PRIDE MONTH PLAYLIST 'ANTHEMS'.

DONNA SUMMER - LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (Disco 1970 Long Version)
