San Francisco Gay Men's ChorusThe San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC) is the world's first openly gay chorus.
Since its premiere performance on the steps of City Hall with 100 members singing to stand up against discrimination and bigotry, the chorus has inspired the worldwide LGBTQIA+ choral movement.
With over 300 singers strong today, SFGMC is bringing people and communities together through the power of music.
And we're just getting started.
