Boy Bands, a group of young male teenage vocal singers, have been a popular phenomenon in the music industry for a long time. They are known for their catchy pop-style of music which often includes matching choreography, stylized costumes, and extravagant stage settings in their live performances and videos. Today's boy band phenomenon emerged from the earlier a cappella barbershop quartets of the late twentieth century.

The mainstream popularity of boy bands in western music almost ensures that one or two members of each group identifies as LGBTQ. Having those individuals publicly identify as such can be challenging - the target audience tends to be teen-age girls. As well, most boy bands are created through the efforts of a professional producer or manager, and this individual often counsels members of the boy band on how to behave and present themselves publicly to maximize popularity and profitability.

Nevertheless, there is a group of notable boy band members who publicly identify as LGBTQ. These individuals hail from Great Britain, New Zealand, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United States, Scotland, and Puerto Rico. To read their fascinating biographies, simply click on their names:
