I was fortunate enough to attend GALA this year... My chorus "The Atlanta Women's Chorus" made their debut and our brother choirs, the 36 year old " Atlana Gay Men's chorus" was one of the main performances. It was a glorius week. And thoughts of Pulse and the Love for Orlando was everywhere. If you EVER GET A CHAMCE to go... Singing or just to enjoy... Do it!! Life changing!! Great post!!

I went to San Jose back in 2000 and it is one of my favorite memories.
