Music databases
To find literature about LGBTQ+ musicians and music practices, search the Music Library's full-text and bibliographic databases using relevant keywords (e.g., gay, lesbian, queer, LGBTQ+, etc.), the names of composers and musicians, or the titles of works. These databases include subscription and free web resources.
LGBTQ+ and Gender Studies databases
You can also find relevant literature about LGBTQ+ musicians and music practices in gender studies databases. For a comprehensive list, see LGBTQ+ and Gender Studies Databases on the LGBTQ+ Studies guide.
This bibliography indexes music scholarship that features material on gender diversity, queer identity, culture, knowledge, or practice, or that approaches its topic from a queer, transgender, or anti-oppressive perspective. It does not index reviews or the popular queer press.
