Chorus Gets In the Spirit
Triangle Gay Men's Chorus will
sponsor a display of two Names Project
AIDS Memorial Quilt panel blocks as
part of it's "In the Spirit" concert on
November 20“1 at Pullen Memorial
Baptist Church in Raleigh.
In June of 1987, a small group of
strangers gathered in a San Francisco
storefront to document the lives they
feared history would neglect.
Their goal was to create a memorial
for those who had died of AIDS, and to
thereby help people understand the
devastating impact of the disease. This
meeting of devoted friends and lovers
served as the foundation of the
NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt.
Today the Quilt is a powerful visual
reminder of the AIDS pandemic.
As this pandemic continues claiming
lives around the world and here in the
United States, the Quilt continues to
grow and to reach more communities
with its messages of remembrance,
awareness and hope.
The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a
poignant memorial, a powerful tool for
use in preventing new HIV infections,
and it's the largest ongoing community
arts project in the world. More than
44,000 individual 3-by-6-foot memorial
panels — each one commemorating the
life of someone who has died of AIDS -
- have been sewn together by friends,
lovers and family members.
Please Join TGMC in it's 10“*
anniversary year for it's "In the Spirit"
concert at Pullen Memorial Baptist
Church at 8:00 PM on Saturday,
November 20 , as the chorus contin
ues it's vision and mission of remem
brance, awareness and hope.
A Peace of Fruitcake...
Santa called on the merry men of
Triad Pride Men's Chorus to mix up a
delicious concert for the holiday. And
what a scrumptious show it is—
decked halls, roasting chestnuts, some
gospel, and traditional favorites.
Noteworthy, the eight-man ensemble,
will stir in some special harmony of its
own. Of course, a TPMC concert
would not be complete without some
spicy surprises—but just a pinch or
two. They're blending it all together to
wish everyone peace and joy through
out the holiday. And, of course, they'll
have lots of fruit—for the cake!!! What
else would they serve at their holiday
concert?
The concert will be held Saturday,
December 4, at 8pm at Greensboro Day
School, 5401 Lawndale Drive, and then
on Sunday, December 5 at 3 pm in
Hames Auditorium at Salem College in
Winston-Salem. Advance tickets are
$12. At the door $15. For tickets by
mail, credit card orders or other infor
mation, call (910) 333-1024 and leave

Complaints About Charlotte Pride
CHARLOTTE (AP) — About 30
Christians in the Charlotte area want
city officials to stop renting park space
to an annual gay pride festival because
they say last year's event was lewd and
obscene.
Sheryl Chandler of Charlotte this
week brought City Council members
photos she said she snapped in a Gay
Naturists International booth during
the Charlotte Pride festival last May.
Chandler was one of 15 festival
opponents who attended the 2003
event to spread the Gospel to attendees.
She said the photos show naked men,
some apparently engaged in sex acts,
and that the booth only had three sides
so passers-by could peer in. One of the
photos showed a uniformed Charlotte
Mecklenburg Police officer in the booth.
Chandler also brought photos of a
drag queen act and said an entertainer
referred to little girls as "dykes on
trikes," and a little boy was applauded
for stuffing money into a drag queen's
bra.
Festival organizers said they bill the
event as family-friendly, but that they'll
take care to screen performers who may
make inappropriate comments and
ensure that lewd photos are not dis
played out in the open.
City officials say they're looking into
the group's allegations before they can
make any recommendations to the City
Council.
Democratic City Council member
Susan Burgess said she was "very
offended" by the photographs, but said
she needs to hear the other side of the
story before making any decisions
about what should happen next.
