SF Gay Men's Chorus goes virtual

from Civic · host San Francisco Public Press

The Crescendo gala takes place Monday, August 17 at 7 pm.

The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus has been an institution within the LGBTQ community since 1978. Now, like many organizations, it’s scrambling to shift its focus to virtual events, including its annual gala. Executive Director Chris Verdugo says, “We don't need a gala right now. What we need is to come together to sing to amplify the voices of our LGBTQ plus community, of our people of color communities, of Black queer artists, to host a conversation, you know, and create actionable items for the organizations and for our audience members on how we can continue to support Black lives."

Upholding Matters David Paul What holds you up and what do you uphold? With the slipping of decency and decorum in our public and private spheres of life, and with once rock-solid faith in civic and social norms now in taters, many people are left feeling greatly concerned and uneasy about the future. We need to talk about this, about what we will uphold, and why that matters. And we will.
