Buffalo gay herren chorus
Description
The contemporary American teLevision industry may deliver the mistaken feeling of having invented the gay sensibility with Queer as Folk and Six Feet Under. It might come as a surprise to a contemporary-driven media that American and European film narratives about gays before the nineties execute have a history and include such classics as Suddenly Last Summer, Midnight Cowboy, Cruising, Death in Venice, Prick Up Your Ears, Taxi zum Klo, and many others. And gay art films from other cultures have far outpaced the American mainstream's need not to be shocked by nontraditional sexual behavior with the more recent portrayals of a sometimes raw contemporary same-sex attracted sensibility in the South American films, Our Lady of the Assassins, Burnt Money and the box-office hit, Y Tu Mama Tambien. Many of the less contemporary films and those from South America appear to portray homosexual life as highly closeted, predatory, self-destructive, and street-driven; they are also more apt to shift into the more dramatic side of art, which has generally meant the more tragic, naturalistic, or Darwinian.

Catholic Diocese refuses to host concert over recital by Gay Men’s Chorus
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo withdrew as the host of an upcoming music festival after learning that the Buffalo Gay Men’s Chorus was scheduled to perform, the choral group announced Sunday.
The Choral Festival, organized by the Greater Buffalo Friends of Music, was scheduled to take place at St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Buffalo on June 9 and includes the Buffalo Gay Men’s Chorus in its lineup. Sacred Trinity Lutheran Church, located in Allentown, agreed to host the concert instead, the chorus said.
“The Buffalo Gay Men’s Chorus is angered and deeply saddened to learn the Choral Festival… [was] cancelled by the Catholic Diocese, in part due to the inclusion of the Buffalo Gay Men’s Chorus,” the choral group wrote in a Facebook post. “This news [was] announced less than three weeks before an event that many groups have been preparing for nearly a year.”
Diocesan spokesperson Joe Martone told WBFO that the diocese didn’t “receive all details on the choirs expected to perform” until week

A Catholic cathedral will no longer host a music festival after the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo learned that a organization of LGBT singers was scheduled to participate in the event.
Greater Buffalo Friends of Music, which describes itself as an nonprofit that "promotes and supports choral music throughout Western New York," is the "primary sponsor of a choral festival in collaboration with six area choirs which was to have taken place on June 9, , at St. Joseph's Cathedral."
The group stated in a Facebook post Wednesday that the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo "announced that the Cathedral will no longer host because one of the choirs, namely the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus (BGMC), 'is a group whose values are inconsistent with Catholic teaching.'"
