For pop girls, I think it's a mixture of LGBT, more so gay men, and teenage girls or just women in general and then the rest is like everybody else. Cause obviously they are reaching different people with the radio and such. For males it's like the reverse. It's a mostly girl fanbase and then the rest is everybody else. Now this is just for America, other countries might be the same but it seems straight males in those countries seem to be more open with obsessing with female artists or like open to going to these shows and stuff. Unlike America it's kinda different. The only concert I ever went to was a Miley Cyrus one, to accompany my sister because she was underage, and it was like 98% teen girls and gay men. It's just such a wonder to me that people without some kind of "real" income could be such massive consumers. It happens. I've only been to one concer and like bunch of raves. Raves is really a majority white male demographic and then women and then minorities. I went to Lana Del Rey and the crowd was very mixed seeing as she's not one of those huge pop stars and makes a different style. Though it was still mostly girls and gay men there was a lot of straight guys there. Teen girls and gays are like key audiences for most female pop stars. People literally take out loans to see these artists. It's insane. Which is why you'll see gays say "we made you famous" to female pulsates cause they kinda did. |

Austra is an older (early 2010's) canadian synthpop outfit. At least half of the members are lgbt, and their first album (feel it break) had some really great moments and fun beats.

Not specifically an LGBT thing but is anyone aware of Discwoman? They have been going for a couple of years and they put on events for cis/trans women and non-binary folk in the electronic music world like all-female line-ups and CDJ workshops. They seem very cool and I got chatting to Frankie who's one of the founders last night at a club here in Berlin last night, she was super nice. Some affiliated artists include DJ HARAM and Umfang.
There's also a collective in Seattle called TUF which my cousin is a part of and she went to an all-female CDJ workshop recently, she said it was a really amazing vibe.
disclaimer: I'm a white cis het guy who just happens to find it really lame how much white cis het guys still dominate the music world and is relieved to see people doing things to shift the culture into being more inclusive
