The 2019 Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ Film Festival To Screen GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH.

The 2019 Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ Film Festival Screening of GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH.

In the wake of the 2016 election, when conservative U.S. lawmakers launched efforts to roll back the progress made on LGBTQ rights, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus responded with a bus tour through the Southern red states. Their mission: Carry a message of visibility, acceptance and hope to the LGBTQ communities affected by these discriminatory laws. Joined by the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, the chorus harnesses the power of music to unify rather than divide. The film won the 2019 Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.
