Abstract This quantitative study examines the diversity of women1 included in music videos with relationships between two women through a comparative content analysis. Informed by intersectionality and queer theory, this study investigated the racial diversity, body diversity, gender performance, and tropes present in music videos with queer women couples (n=473) through a quantitative content analysis. This study also compared the diversity and tropes present in music videos made by musicians who identify as lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer women and music videos made by non-queer musicians. Quantitative data was collected and reported for musicians who identify outside of the gender binary (e.g. non-binary, gender non- conforming, agender), but they were not included in the comparative analysis2. This thesis reports that the majority of women included in these music videos are white (62.79%), thin (98.73%), feminine (79.07%). In addition, the music videos often contained themes that exploit queer women’s sexuality either by a non-queer artist trying to gain queer women’s viewership or by portraying queer women’s relationships as for men’s pleasure.

Soenyun Master of Music School of Music and Dance June 2019 Title: Identity Formation and Well-Being in LGBT Community Bands The purpose of this study was to determine what relationships exist, if any, between psychological well-being, psychosocial well-being, internalized homonegativity (IH), and LGBT community band participation, as well as to holistically investigate these constructs, with identity formation, through participant experiences. Participant responses to survey data (N = 100) were analyzed via Pearson correlation. Significant relationships emerged between psychological and psychosocial well-being (r2 = .12), as well as between psychological well-being and IH (r2 = .05) at both the p < .01 and p < .05 levels, respectively. No significant relationships were found between any of the constructs with years of participation, or between psychosocial well-being and IH.

With the advent of recording technology, LGBT messages were for the first time brought to the forefront of popular music. David Bowie Made Me Gay is the first book to cover the breadth of history of recorded music by and for the LGBT community and how those records influenced the evolution of the music we listen to today.David Bowie Made Me Gay uncovers the lives of the people who made these records, and offers a lively canter through the scarcely documented history of LGBT music-makers. Darryl W. Bullock discusses how gay, lesbian, and bisexual performers influenced Jazz and Blues; examines the almost forgotten Pansy Craze in the years between the two World Wars (when many LGBT performers were feted by royalty and Hollywood alike); chronicles the dark years after the depression when gay life was driven deep underground; celebrates the re-emergence of LGBT performers in the post-Stonewall years; and highlights today’s most legendary out-gay pop stars: Elton John, Boy George, Freddie Mercury, and George Michael.“Popular music is the great stealth art form, able to slip past our censors and explore all kinds of sexuality in ways closed to print or movies.
