Many disco songs have lyrics that address the themes of the movements for civil rights, women’s liberation, and LGBTQ+ rights. A few examples are the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.,” Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out,” and Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family.” The music developed in underground clubs that catered to Black, gay, and Latino dancers and provided the soundtrack for the sexual revolution.
