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!
