Sing with Pride at Hayman Lodge

Here’s why we joined Sing with Pride:

“I wanted to sing in a choir where I felt safe to be myself and celebrate my sexuality”

“I wanted to show my support and commitment to the LGBT community as a straight ally”

“I wanted to sing in a relaxed atmosphere”

“I wanted to sing about my identity”

“I wanted to sing and be OUT & PROUD”

“I wanted a sense of community”

“I wanted to be in a choir that allowed me to be who I am without judgement”

And here’s what being in Sing with Pride means to us:

“Therapy, emotional support, connection with LGBT community, activism, friends, oh and singing”

“A sense of belonging where I can develop my singing”

“Friendship and acceptance and a sense of ‘family’. Fun.”

“Safe, emotional space, wonderful friends and confidence to sing”

“Chilling out. Release from tension.”

“Fun and friends for life!!!”

“Solidarity! Friendship. Humanity!”
