Washingtonian ^ | 2-18-25 | Andrew Beaujon

In a statement, the chorus says it’s “deeply disappointed” by the news. “We believe in the power of music to educate and uplift, to foster love, understanding, and community, and we regret that this opportunity has been taken away.”

I wouldn’t use the restroom in this theatre. I’d just find a 7-11.

Filthiness under a pretext of love and care. Not in my country.

Why do they have to call themselves “ Gay men’s chorus” it’s like “ look at me, look at me “ Then too, a lot of gay men are SCREAMING GAY. I just don’t get it....

Saying that you are gay today is dated. It’s like saying you are Chicano and you wear a Zoot Suit. Today, you have to be full-on trans and identify as a four-spirit buffalo

Did you know … Castrati were male singers who were castrated before puberty to keep their high voices. They were the stars of opera in the 17th and 18th centuries

The federal government shouldn’t be in the performing arts business in the first place. Sell the Kennedy Center. As it is now, rich folks from the DC area get to enjoy concerts while tax money from farmers in Iowa pay for it.

I’m all for having a pride event. One that celebrates and promotes pride in America.

A "gay men's chorus" is sort of a "thing" like a minstrel show. I don't have a problem with either as long as they stick to entertaining, and eschew politics. Keep the preaching and proselytizing in the closet.

Trump likes to troll. He shouldn’t have canceled the pride concert. He should have just changed out the Gay Men’s Chorus with the Marine Choir and made the evening a celebration of pride in our military. The left would have been apoplectic.

Well, I don’t get it either, but I can sure as the world get along just fine without it. It used to be a shame to even let anyone know if you were “gay”. I’d say it would be best if we went back to that kind of thinking, because who cares if one is “gay”....a misuse of wording.

Hell is full of those who take pride in their sinful, ungodly ways.

Feels like Trump had nothing to do with this. I would guess belligerent compliance trying to make Trump look bad.

All you have to do is look at that woman ‘bishop’s’ behavior during the inauguration and you will see how the lgbtq cause will take advantage of any televised opportunity and will use whatever platform they can to ‘get back’ at anyone they can.

I have no doubt their ‘singing’ will be worse than San Fran’s choir admitting they are going to convert children to being gay.

LOL

What does one do, when one hosts a run-of-the-mill, old fashioned “Coming Out” party, and nobody shows up?
