Israeli singer Dana International's 1998 Eurovision Song "Diva" was recently named as one of the greatest gay pride songs of all times by Rolling Stone Italia, the sister-publication of the iconic Rolling Stone magazine.
"Diva" ranked 14 by the Italian publication, but did not make the cut for a similar list published by the US-based magazine.

The magazine rated the 15 most significant gay songs in the past 50 years to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall – a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ community against the New York Police Department over manifestations of homophobia and brutality against the community.
The events inspired the first gay pride marches, which took place in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in June 1970.
Rolling Stone Italia named Gloria Gaynor's timeless classic "I Will Survive" (1978) as the best pride song of all times.
Madonna's 1990 mega-hit "Vogue" ranked second, followed by Lady Gaga's "Born this Way."
Queen's iconic tune "I Want to Break Free" was ranked fourth, and Italian pop sensation Raffaella Carrà's "Fiesta" rounded up the top five.
