Documentary 'Gay Chorus Deep South' follows the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus on a tour of the American Bible Belt.
In October 2017, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus celebrated its 40th season by touring for a week across America’s Bible Belt, promoting love and acceptance via concerts in states with some of the nation’s most discriminatory anti-LGBTQ laws. One’s first reaction might be: Good luck with that.
Despite occasional protesters and naysayers , the chorus, which was accompanied by the largely African American — and one-third gay — Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, seemed successful in spreading their positive messages while singing lots of beautiful gospel and spiritual music. They don’t perform “Kumbaya,” but they might as well.
For singer and cancer patient Jimmy White, his return to his native Mississippi and reunion with his estranged, homophobic father has a somewhat muted, if amiable, result. Unfortunately, we never learn if Jimmy and his dad truly rekindled their relationship.
