 The GAY MEN’S CHORUS OF LOS ANGELES has garnered international acclaim for artistic excellence while remaining deeply rooted in service to the Los Angeles community and beyond by promoting civil rights, tolerance and acceptance though music.  Founded in 1979 during the emergence of the gay civil rights movement, critics have proclaimed the chorus “inspired,” “expressive, innovative, and utterly moving,” and hailed it for presenting “meaningful entertainment.”  The 220-member choir has toured nationally and internationally, released 15 compact discs, commissioned more than 300 new works and arrangements and has guest starred on such TV shows as "$#*! My Dad Says," starring William Shatner, “Will & Grace” and “Six Feet Under.”  In October 2010, it produced an anti-bullying musical video message for the “It Gets Better” project featuring Cyndi Lauper's moving anthem “True Colors,” quickly becoming a viral sensation that has received more than 600,000 hits to date.  Additionally, GMCLA has received accolades for its “Alive Music Project” (AMP), a unique music education outreach program designed for middle and high school students that uses song to create a powerful anti-bullying message and also highlights the reality that our community's struggle for equal rights is not only universal, but an issue that has and can affect any group of people who find themselves in the minority.
