A Christmas Connection With Gay Culture Thanks to a Gay Men’s Chorus

A Christmas Connection With Gay Culture Thanks to a Gay Men’s Chorus | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

The pride in hearing those beautiful voices with my daughters, who got to experience a moment of joy that perhaps deepened their appreciation for gay culture, or at least enkindled it. A familiar frisson of sadness as I surveyed the landscape of survivor-peers of the AIDS cataclysm.

On the eve of releasing her debut album, the Disney actor turned quadruple-threat pop star is ready to take her unapologetically queer music to the mainstream.
Trinity Broadus's curator insight, June 15, 2018 10:42 AM

She's young and beautiful and her story tells you about the journey she is going on and why she is doing it. I've used buzzfeed before and it's a very reliable source it gives you the main story without making it seem fake.

The duo have elicited the help of some of Joburg’s fiercest queer talent to create a dance music video extravaganza.
