In response to a wave of discriminatory anti-LGBTQ laws and the divisive 2016
election, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus embarks on a tour of the American
Deep South.
Led by Gay Chorus Conductor Dr. Tim Seelig and joined by The Oakland Interfaith
Gospel Choir; the tour brings a message of music, love and acceptance to
communities and individuals confronting intolerance. Over 300 singers travelled from
Mississippi to Tennessee through the Carolinas and over the bridge in Selma. They
performed in churches, community centers and concert halls in hopes of uniting us in a
time of difference. The journey also challenges Tim and other Chorus members who
fled the South to confront their own fears, pain and prejudices on a journey towards
reconciliation. The conversations and connections that emerge offer a glimpse of a
less divided America, where the things that divide us—faith, politics, sexual
identity—are set aside by the soaring power of music, humanity and a little drag.
