Pride Playlist Part Two – The Divas By Jamie Slater
Divas are to the gay community what flowers are to bees or chocolate is to peanut butter. Each thrives off the other to become stronger; resilient; fabulous. From the impeccable timbres of Maria Callas to the harsh determination of Diamanda Galas, divas have been held up by the gay community as embodiments of their own struggles and desires. Strong, feisty, sometimes tragic, but always defiant, the divas in this playlist will add sass, spirit and sentiment to your Pride.
