- Big voiced divas: Rather than particular song, this area of gay anthems is more akin to a cult of personality of a large gay male following for some particular diva-style pop music vocalists who are almost always female gay icons.
- Overcoming hardship in love: Usually a narrative of a wronged lover who comes back stronger than before.
- You are not alone: Songs about coming together as a community or reassurance to the lonely that there are others like them out there.
- Throw your cares away: A carefree narrative about putting your troubles aside and partying.
- Hard-won self esteem Here the themes involves fighting through oppression, darkness or fear to gain freedom, beauty or self esteem.
- Celebrating unashamed sexuality: The theme here is of transcending cultural shame to celebrate one’s sexual nature.
- Search for acceptance: Songs about a welcoming promised land where the dream of acceptance and belonging and hope lives.
- Torch song for the world weary: A narrative about being used, abused and surviving to tell the tale of lament.
- Love conquers all: Tales of not giving up on love despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
- No apologies: Here the theme revolves around defiantly living one’s life despite what others may want.
