It took a bit longer than usual to compile in that, while trying to make it as danceable to as possible, I was also trying to tie it to Manchester Pride, and it ended up being a bit of a tussle between the two things.
I think I've largely achieved what I set out to do, which is to have a balance of styles and genres by a mixture of artists who either are LGBTIQ+, are sympathetic to that section of their audience, or who I haven't heard bad things about in that respect (Oh dear, hardly a ringing endorsement for LGBTIQ+ rights that last bit...) I would hope that I do this with all of the F-Word playlists, but, with timing the playlist to coincide with Manchester Pride, it felt even more important than usual to do so.
