G-Major chorus in Taipei

On the way to Singapore, we dd a lay-over in Taipei, Taiwan, which was just enough time to have dinner with the folks from G-Major chorus (G大調男聲合唱團) in Taipei. G-Major is one of the biggest and most successful choruses in Asia, and is based in one of the most liberal and fascinating countries for LGBTQ+ development. With same-sex marriage in place, the biggest Pride celebration in the region and an extensive queer culture, Taiwan is the perfect place for a large chorus, and definitely a leader in our movement right now. Here they are in rehearsal.
