- Yep!!!!! We Portland Gay Men's Chorus get more reviews and
- stories from the non-GBLO press than our own press.
-
- Good example is this December. The musical community, Portland Gay Freedom
- Band, Portland Lesbian Choir, and Portland Gay Men's Chorus, put on
- a free concert on December 20th. That is over 100 GLBO people performing
- and well over 400 people in attendence, a great audience in Portland and
- not one story about. The biggest event in the GLBO community that
- month and nothing. The concert was free and we ask for donations that
- go to various organizations in the Portland area.
-
- When PGMC and PLC went to southern Oregon, Klamath Falls to be
- exact, (during the measure 9 scare) the Klamath Falls paper, a
- non-GLBO paper, gave us a wonderful little blurb in their entertainment
- section. This is a real homophobic place folks, and this towns newspaper
- printed a story about our visit. Anything from the GLBO rags? Nope!!!!
-
- Just another sore point in my little humdrumb life.
