here’s to a year of thirst trappin 💕✌🏽 thank you for supporting babes. There was fully years on years where hiding felt like the only option. Feeling 100% proud and happy in this gay brown boy skin 💕
My first round-up this week for y’all. I proudly present to you: Queer Necessities: Best of 2020, a playlist highlighting some of the very best releases of the year from queer artists. 

All these songs/artists featured on the playlist are great and deserving of spotlight. I’ve enjoyed them all throughout the year for all varying different reasons and there is no real ranking here. Song placements on this playlist are solely for continuity purposes, it’s meant to be a start-to-finish listening experience and that’s how I always intend it to be. 🥳 LINK IN BIO! Hope you enjoy it just as much as I had putting it together ❤️✨ // Art & Design by @heyrooney
