Multiple LGBTQ+ choirs perform in protest after Kennedy Centre cancels Gay Men’s Chorus concert

Multiple LGBTQ+ choirs have performed in protest after the Kennedy Centre cancelled a performance of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC and the National Symphony Orchestra.

The concert was scheduled for 21 May as part of WorldPride 2025, with the two organisations set to collaborate on a piece titled “A Peacock Among Pigeons” for a Pride concert. In a statement shared on social media last month, the Gay Men’s Chorus said it was “deeply disappointed” by the decision to cancel the event.

The video was shared by Manchester Proud Chorus and Oxford Proud
