Times have changed since the Stonewall Chorale gay chorus formed 40 years ago. But one thing has remained constant: It’s still all about the music.

Catch up with the nation’s first all gay chorus as they speak about how times have changed and the joy of singing in this documentary video.

“In the ‘70s, when they started, it was an act of deviance. It was kind of a radical act just to get up on a stage and be identified as a gay singing group.” –Steve Albert, Stonewall Chorale member
