The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus recently put out a video, where very creepy men sing about “coming for your children”. They claim it’s about teaching kids not to hate, although the entire atmosphere gives off pedo vibes.
At a minimum, this was an incredibly tone-deaf stunt. Sensible parents, even open minded ones, are not going to want to subject their children to this. Is this how tolerance is taught?
But if this was just a joke, what exactly is the punch line? What were they aiming for? Or was this a way to manufacture victimhood? Did they never once stop to think how unsettling this is?
“The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus was founded, in part, to fight discrimination and bigotry against all peoples. Today, our chorus members are facing death threats, vile attacks, false accusations, doxing, and other forms of harassment because of our satirical video performance “Message from the Gay Community.”
“We placed the video in private mode to quell the intolerance and hateful responses from mostly anonymous people. Upon reflection, we have made it live again for all to see the satirical and obviously tongue-in-cheek humor. We want everyone to judge for themselves. We will not allow ourselves, even in the face of death threats, to retreat or bow to attempts to twist our words, meaning, self-deprecation and humor.
“We are thankful for the efforts of the San Francisco Police Department and law enforcement for their quick response and assistance in handling these threats.
“The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus is dedicated to being role models, teaching, and spreading the message of love, inclusion, humor, and celebration through our music. We believe, most fervently, in open dialogue , communication, and free speech. We will continue to do so through our music. We invite everyone to join us.”
The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus performed a tongue-in-cheek song commissioned by an external arts organization which ironically had a simple message around teaching young people to speak out against anti-LGBTQ hate. The Chorus sings in harmony, ‘Someone’s got to teach them not to hate.’ As a result of manipulation from anti-LGBTQ media figures, the Chorus is now facing uncalled-for and disgusting threats of violence, as well as hate and harassment, across social media. As GLAAD’s Social Media Safety Index reported, hate and harassment too often goes unchecked on social media and the platforms need to act swiftly to address the hateful content directed at the Chorus, especially the threats of violence. The ugly anti-LGBTQ rhetoric just reinforces the need for LGBTQ visibility, community, and advocacy, all of which the SFGMC has exemplified in its 40+ year history.”
Now, a series of responses had compared some of the names against the California sex offender registry. While there were several matches, keep in mind, California has some 40 million residents. Therefore, it’s quite possible for many people to have the same names. While the video above is disgusting, these weirdos shouldn’t be mistaken for those — if the names are coincidental.
If this performance was just tone deaf, it would make sense to take it down. However, the Chorus seems to thing that this “should” be thrown in the faces of everyone.
Yes, tolerance for gays is declining. And antics like this are directly responsible for it happening. Say what you will about the Muslims, but they would never stand for such degeneracy.

I believe that they misjudged how unsuccessful their efforts to legalize pedopilia have been, and failed to notice that the public was not buying into their propaganda at all. In fact, there have never been more vigilante pedophile hunting groups organized to stop them, then in the past 25 years.
This was not satire, any more than someone deliberately verbally abusing another and then claiming it was ‘just a joke’ is just joking.
These are sick individuals with a major entitlement attitude. They are now doing damage control…too late!
People must remember where the name of their activities was derived from…Sodom. And we know what the real GOD did to Sodom and Gomorrah, don’t we?
Interestingly, these pedophile networks are all coming down, as the US Marines arrest and prosecute them for crimes against humanity by the tens of thousands. Didn’t know this? Thank the pedophile-promoting mainstream media for that.
God’s standards are his standards. They won’t change, but that doesn’t mean that he is inflexible or unfeeling. Keep in mind that some of the apostles were, at one time, gay. God made man and woman and they were to marry and become one flesh, period, until circumstances changed (the desert trek and just the bad habit set by Lamech, of taking more than one wife) and God changed the rules. He actually regulated the concubine arrangment. Then his Son clarified matters and said that that had been allowed not because God changed his mind about things but because of men’s hard heartedness (Matthew 19:8,9). And polygamy was therefore not acceptable within the infant congregation.
I don’t care for judgmentalism. Let he who is without sin… It’s just not reasonable. We are all imperfect. We inherited imperfection from our first human parents who chose to betray God, who never gave them any reason to do so. They (especially Adam) knew better. But many innocents were in Adam’s loins. Had God destroyed the first human couple and started again, innocents (albeit now imperfect) would have died for Adam’s sin. And God is a God of love. Imperfection doesn’t just manifest as a tendency to do bad, which we all possess. It manifests in physical ways as well. My brother has Down syndrome. Others have other afflictions. And so why isn’t it possible that some are born gay? I don’t know that it isn’t. And I don’t know why the Bible doesn’t take that possibility into account. (I have issues with the Christian Bible, but I consider myself to be a Christian.)
Homosexuality is a departure from God’s design, or blueprint, for his human creation, no doubt about it. But lets leave the judgment to God when it comes to homosexuals. If I sometimes hate gay people, it will be because they are behaving badly, not because I automatically hate gay people (or because I’m self-righteous and feel the urge to virtue signal). I treat people well, by default. It’s only when they give me some reason to see them as bad people that I want nothing to do with them.
Well Arby, your comments are based on hearsay. I look at the facts and the results of what is going on…cruelty beyond imagination. Sorry, I don’t buy into the hearsay that GOD compromised anything…the 10 Commandments are clear.
There’s not much more that I can do for you when I point you to the Christianity textbook itself and you call it hearsay. The 10 commandments are a synopsis of some 600 laws that are essentially the Hebrew Constitution. Read those… Oh yes, You don’t like ‘hearsay’.
Arby: I believe your comments are hearsay only. I personally don’t believe that GOD compromised nor agreed that any proxy could compromise on his behalf. GOD does not ‘depart’ from his design for anybody or anything.
Sodom and Gomorrah residents learned this the hard way. We better straighten up our thinking before we become the Sodom and Gomorrah Story Part II.
