We’re Florida’s very 1st LGBTQ+ Arts Organization.
Our voices and yours are still very much needed.
Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a ‘SuperFan’
Thanks to her and to you for being part of our extended family. This is truly Why We Sing!
Thanks also to our friends, chosen families and again to special guests Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Mayor Dean Trantalis and Deborah Kerr for making it an inspiring 35th Anniversary.

Help The Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus continue to thrive as the State of Florida’s first LGBTQ performing arts organization
On July 1st, Florida state enacted the 'Parental Rights in Education' bill, led by Governor Ron DeSantis. It's known as the 'Don't Say Gay Bill.'
We at FTLGMC strongly oppose this new law and the targeting of LGBTQ students, teachers, and families. Unfortunately, this is not the first time our community has been targeted.
We have stood up against this type of bullying and discrimination for 35 years. We still do so by building and bringing together communities, instead of dividing them, with Music.

Jack Cole was a dedicated member and the chorus’ Treasurer for over 25 years.
We all remember Jack as one of the most giving people we’ve ever known.
His support of our Mission, his great personality, and his generous nature are truly missed every single day.
Learn more about Jack in this feature article from OutClique magazine.
Help us continue to celebrate his legacy of singing and volunteer service to fulfill our mission.
Jack wanted a Memorial Fund to be established in his name, for the benefit of our chorus, the organization he loved and supported so completely. Help continue to celebrate Jack’s legacy of singing and giving to support LGBT music in the critical state of Floridia.
We are thrilled to work with our founder, Dr. Gary Keating

NOVEMBER 2021 Fort Lauderdale, Florida “Our Time with Sondheim”:
Our Fort Lauderdale GayMen’s Chorus Family (and the whole world) were devastated to learn yesterday about the death of 91 year-old and Proudly Gay Musical Genius, Stephen Sondheim.
Back in March of 2018 (pre-COVID) we performed in concert: “Our Time With Sondheim” with special Broadway Guest Stars Lisa Vroman and Martha Bartz in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, South Florida.
We sang together then to celebrate & honor the life work of this brilliant and proudly out Gay Man. (#GayMen)
