  I think they kill it on this cover.  People told Mary J NOT to do it in case it alienated her crowd.  She knew better.

  Depends where you draw the line. 
  
  Does the artist have to be LBGT?
  Does their output have to have a large LBGT following?  
  Does it have to be both?
  
  I mean RuPaul, Divine, … (more)Village People is kind of low-hanging-fruit, no?  Not to belittle their work but are you looking for the content to be, I dunno, a little more nuanced?  For example work that was written by closeted artists or writers that was, on the face of it, a standard love song, but was actually about what was at the time, some forbidden ish.
  
  One "Out-of-the-box" idea that comes to mind is that if you play Dolly Parton's "Jolene" 45 @ 33 rpm it sounds like Roy Orbison talmbout Jolene taking his man.  Flipping the script.
