This year has been a rough year for the LGBTQIA+, particularly for the transgender people. We had several states in the US banning them from partaking in sports competitions, and in the UK the conversion therapy ban was reversed on transgender people. Then, you also have the "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida, which is pretty grim and we all saw the effects with a high school graduate using "curly hair" to replace "gay" in his speech. These examples still remind us that there is still a long way to go for LGBTQIA+ rights and that Pride Month is still a very important month not only just to celebrate our real self but also to fight for our rights, as it was for the Stonewall Protests.

With the grim stuff swept aside, let's celebrate Pride Month with some great songs! Ever since I successfully hosted PFSC IX: Celebrating Pride a year ago, I now revive Pride spin-off in BJSC with blessing from our amazing founder Linds! Obviously, this is your chance to enter LGBTQIA+ artists that have impacted you with the rest of the community and get everyone into the Pride spirit!



o You must submit a song that's either by an LGBTQ+ artist and/or is lyrically about an LBGTQ+ topic
o The song cannot be by an artist with their own forum on Buzzjack
o Your song can't have been sent to a previous spin-off, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iZbXMnl3bu3rD4V6O6mg5-W-TZqtGz8u8D75vZWVWs0/edit#gid=1534062179 or PFSC IX
o Your song must not have reached the top 100 in the UK chart.
o We won't allow multiple songs by the same artist
o Your song also can't have notable Buzzjack prominence etc.
o Do not tell anyone what entry you have sent!

Hype some very weird coincidences led me to this song so I feel like I *have* to send it, looking forward to some discoveries!

Confirmed and then immediately reconfirmed suddenly remembered something that would be perfect and I'd love more people to hear.

My options were endless really after recently creating a 'bi panic' playlist in time for pride month

Posted by: Cody Severide 28th May 2022, 06:38 PM

god I've been planning to send this song to a Pride spin-off so if it gets taken then idk what to do

Posted by: J00prstar 28th May 2022, 06:56 PM

V different vibe from last time from moi

Posted by: uhsting 28th May 2022, 07:37 PM

yes someone sent your song earlier so you now have to re-confirm with a lip-sync of your life!

jk jk jk cody you're safe pending veto.

Posted by: Brer 28th May 2022, 07:52 PM

There isn't really a veto for spinoffs (short of someone trying to send Lil Nas X - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) or something).

I have a possible artist in mind for this but it's dependent on if they have any songs of their own actually worth sending, need to dig into their discography a bit. (I only know them from a couple of collabs with more well-known artists x) Failing that will need to do some more brainstorming/searching ~

Posted by: diva thin muffin 28th May 2022, 09:36 PM

Queeriatine is ready for this! Using the opportunity to (try to) send a song I'm sure would get vetoed in a regular edition of BJSC.

Posted by: uhsting 28th May 2022, 10:41 PM

Great to have 11 nations confirming on the first day of confirmations! Keep 'em coming!

Posted by: Linds. 31st May 2022, 11:02 AM

Yayyy! Been looking forward to this

I have an entry I'm gonna send as a sort of placeholder just now, it's been a bjsc potential, it was my backup for pfsc but it is v fitting for this so I may just stick with it bc it is a bop. There is always the chance I find something I like more as I've been sitting on this song for months but we'll see I suppose!

Posted by: ChanelMack 31st May 2022, 06:23 PM

Submitted.

Posted by: dhwhore 4th June 2022, 09:33 AM

Posted by: uhsting 4th June 2022, 09:35 AM

Posted by: dhwhore 4th June 2022, 09:39 AM

working on it

Posted by: J00prstar 4th June 2022, 12:47 PM

Sounds like mine!

Posted by: Brer 4th June 2022, 05:55 PM

Just panicked for a second thinking I forgot about this and might be close to missing the deadline only to discover it is still open for another 11 days lel xx I don't think you needed to make the deadline that long

Posted by: dhwhore 5th June 2022, 02:37 AM

rock/alt bloc let's goooo!

for real though I'm hoping this isn't just 20 $l*t pop anthems, while those are nice, I hope we get to showcase the lgbt genre versatility!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 13th June 2022, 05:50 PM

Have sent an underground BANGER, hopefully I filled in the form ok?

Will be away for the next week or so with work so wasn't sure whether I could participate but hopefully the voting window will be long enough. x

Posted by: uhsting 13th June 2022, 06:39 PM

Yup it looks perfect to me, thanks!

Posted by: uhsting 14th June 2022, 04:01 PM

Bumping this as we have less than 48 hours until the submission period closes! Keep your entries coming!

Posted by: k👠th 15th June 2022, 03:29 PM

Confirmed our shortest entry till date

Posted by: diva thin muffin 15th June 2022, 08:46 PM

changed my entry oops. hope it's not already been taken because it's a B.A.N.G.E.R.

Posted by: uhsting 15th June 2022, 08:50 PM

Just about 2 hours left before confirmations close! I have overspent my budget from the Longorama of Sovarasma on the recap so y'all must confirm to be featured on this banger!

Posted by: Brer 15th June 2022, 09:20 PM

Confirmed now, coming to flop but I found a banger x

I think my entry is also my shortest to date excluding BJFestivalen #shortsongbloc

Posted by: gooddelta 15th June 2022, 09:56 PM

Confirmed one of my 10 favourite songs of the past five years...! This one holds good memories of a trip to Austria in 2019 for me...let's see how it goes down.

Posted by: uhsting 15th June 2022, 11:11 PM

At the moment, there are 23 nations confirmed! Once I get the green light from the mods (currently the entries look all ok to me) I shall begin the edition later at night.

Posted by: Qween 16th June 2022, 09:21 AM

I can’t say I missed this (more forgot about it, oops) but have submitted a late entry if you’re accepting them.

Posted by: uhsting 16th June 2022, 09:41 AM

I've added you to the list!

Posted by: Brer 16th June 2022, 02:08 PM

You can start it whenever, mods aren't really involved in the process of spinoffs x (I've quickly looked over the list of songs and it all looks fine to me as well)
