<\/a><\/p>\nHere’s why we joined Sing with Pride:<\/strong><\/p>\n “I wanted to sing in a choir where I felt safe to be myself and celebrate my sexuality”<\/p>\n “I wanted to show my support and commitment to the LGBT community as a straight ally”<\/p>\n “I wanted to sing in a relaxed atmosphere”<\/p>\n “I wanted to sing about my identity”<\/p>\n “I wanted to sing and be OUT & PROUD”<\/p>\n “I wanted a sense of community”<\/p>\n “I wanted to be in a choir that allowed me to be who I am without judgement”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And here’s what being in Sing with Pride means to us:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Therapy, emotional support, connection with LGBT community, activism, friends, oh and singing”<\/p>\n “A sense of belonging where I can develop my singing”<\/p>\n “Friendship and acceptance and a sense of \u2018family\u2019. Fun.”<\/p>\n “Safe, emotional space, wonderful friends and confidence to sing”<\/p>\n “Chilling out. Release from tension.”<\/p>\n “Fun and friends for life!!!”<\/p>\n “Solidarity! Friendship. Humanity!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Click the Play button below to hear us talking in 2011 about why we loved being part of the Sing with Pride choir.<\/p>\n\n\n
