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.”
The Kennedy Center has seen a raft of cancellations since President Trump took over the arts center last week a

The men’s choir is actually very good and a favorite show on the calendar. I’m sure they won’t have trouble being booked in another venue.
Pride is a deadly sin.
Have you ever been to the Monterey Aquarium?
Diversity of life is God’s design.
It includes a spectrum of thought and sensibilities within the human species.
Sure, there are mentally ill people, but claming all off the 100% heterosexual spectrum are mentally ill is blasphemy, they are exactly as God made them.
We are all flying through infinite space on a rock. Have a heart.
If the Kennedy Center were a residential mental health facility I could se them “playing” there.
This isn't just about this chorus. It's about why the chorus was supposed to be there in the first place. From the article:
The Kennedy Center canceled a concert planned for May 21 that was to feature the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, performing alongside the National Symphony Orchestra. The two groups were planning to collaborate on a piece called “A Peacock Among Pigeons,” with GMCW serving as the orchestra’s guest chorus. No explanation was given.“A Peacock Among Pigeons” is not just any book. Here is its description from Amazon:
A Peacock Among Pigeons is an LGBT-themed hardback children's book that tells the tale of learning how to stand out when you can't fit in. This children's story teaches the importance of celebrating our differences and learning to love the feathers you live in.Yes, the headline says a pride concert is canceled, but it's not simply gay groups performing, but the focus on an LGBT-themed book aimed at children which you know would be promoted as part of this now-canceled concert and children would have been encouraged to attend and read this book.
DO THEY ALL SING SOPRANO???
The word has gone out and the gay revenge has started. The gay hair stylists are yapping a mile a minute scaring little old ladies in the salon that Trump is planning WW3 and is taking people’s SS checks. These guys in hair salons are off the chain mad about the Kennedy Center. If your parent has a gay hair stylist you may need to check on them or limit their appointments. I was shocked by the fear I was hearing. These men are losing their minds. It might just be the DC area but I was hearing pure mental illness.
Yes. The Kennedy Center should not be showcasing anyone’s political agenda.
I think the “gay mens chorus” should disband, expand (open up) its membership, and reform as just the “Men’s Chorus”.
Promoting faggotry is ceasing; that’s a good thing.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it!
Can be done in the street. Take a hike.
Oh shoot!... Just when we were all starting to get in to them.
