Bette Midler’s “Friends” has long lived as a chosen-family / community anthem, and is often cited as a gay anthem.
That meaning is rooted in lived Pride history. Bette appeared at the Christopher Street Liberation Day rally in Washington Square Park (NYC, June 24, 1973) alongside activist Vito Russo.
Amid the AIDS crisis, the song took on deeper resonance. Bette performed “In My Life / Friends” at AIDS Project Los Angeles’ Commitment to Life benefit in 1991, as a tribute to friends she’d lost.
Decades later, she returned to it on a major Pride stage, performing “Friends” while headlining NYC WorldPride (2019) — reaffirming its place as a song about survival, memory, and the family we make.
