If they're going to ban gay performers from the Kennedy Center stage, their ability to book musicals, choral performances, operas, or any kind of dance are going to be pretty limited.
But then, fascists aren't known for their love of the arts.

It’s so great that he also wants to ruin the things that bring some happiness to people.

I know it is a different gay men’s chorus, but honestly one of the maybe ten photos that I have found most affecting is the one of the SF gay men’s chorus with the couple of survivors of the AIDS epidemic and the darkened figures representing the generation of members they lost. Gay men’s choruses are both central to our country’s modern history and entertaining. I am really sad to see the changes at the Kennedy Center.

DC is hosting World Pride Day this year and I wonder if he's going to try and axe that too.

From an NBC article. Allegedly due to, but not … yeah riiight. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna192901“National Symphony Orchestra Executive Director Jean Davidson said in a statement that the decision to postpone the performance was made before Trump took over as chairman. “Before the leadership transition at the Kennedy Center, we made the decision to postpone Peacock Among Pigeons due to financial and scheduling factors,” Davidson said. “We chose to replace it with The Wizard of Oz, another suitable program for World PRIDE participation.” Davidson said that “program changes are a common practice,” saying leadership was “unable to announce the replacement program until we had secured the rights to present it, but in the interest of transparency, we removed the original program from the website to prevent further ticket sales.” |
