attended the #Tribeca2019 premiere screening of #GayChorusDeepSouth - i was blown away & moved to tears. the documentary shows the San Francisco gay men’s chorus tour through states with anti-LGBTQ+ laws, & how you can change hearts & minds through connection & music.

I see a lot of people sharing this picture, but I have an update!

This was taken in 1993.  It was the chorus’s 15th anniversary, who had lost 115 members to HIV/AIDS.  Last year, for the chorus’s 40th anniversary, they took a new picture:

There are 298 singers on-stage.  Each man turned around represents a chorus member who was lost - not all to HIV/AIDS, many to suicide, violence, or in one case literally onstage during a concert.  In 1993, there were only 7 more people in the chorus than had been lost.  In 2018, there were only 8 more people.

Before every concert, we pass around the names of members who have been lost and literally carry them with us on-stage.  Each of us sing for two - ourselves, and our brother in our pocket who couldn’t physically be there with us.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight to experience the incredible entertainment, skill, and love the #sfgmc shared with Alabama! To the members of the SFGMC- THANK YOU for sharing your time and energy with us, learning about the community, building bridges, and most importantly, giving back! We love y’all!

Today's LGBTQ+ Vibe

Today's vibe first sang on the steps of City Hall in 1978, and is still going strong today! In its time, it has seen more than 2,000 members throughout its 46 years, and has toured all across the United States. It has been part of LGBTQ+ activism, advocacy and history, from the AIDS epidemic to the anti-gay legislation going on now. It is the first Gay Men's Chorus: The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus!!

(Photo also includes the San Francisco Symphony.) Currently, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus has more than 300 active members, and in July they are headed to Iowa and Nebraska to sing with a local chorus and highlight work of local LGBTQ+ non-profits in each area!
