It’s hard to believe that 1999 existed 20 years ago.

As someone who was a child of the 90’s, it feels like yesterday when some of my favorite tracks helped develop me into the walking radio that I am today.

This was a year when every type of music still had a spot at the dinner table. Consider music back then to be a potluck dinner of sorts, where each genre had its moments on the charts, on your walkmans, and in your life.

This was a year that gave us so many favorite songs that the gay community loved to jam to. They weren’t “gay” specific, but these were ones that were universally loved (for the most part) by us then and still resonate with us all these years later.

That being said, let’s take a look at 20 gay favorites (or classics, for us oldies) that officially turn 20 in 1999.
