<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, the Gay Men\u2019s Chorus of Washington D.C. performed at Knox Pride festival in Knoxville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n
After their performance, as the group was driving away in their bus, they noticed the group of homophobic street preachers who were shouting and holding signs like \u201cHomo Sex is a Sin\u201d near the Pride stage, The Washingtonian<\/em> reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n Thea Kano, artistic director of the chorus, says about eight people were protesting with signs outside the Pride stage when they arrived. After the chorus\u2019\u00a0performance, the singers\u00a0got onto the bus to head back to the hotel. As the bus was moving away Kano noticed the protesters\u00a0were still out and yelling at passersby, so she asked the bus driver to stop.<\/p>\n And then they piled off and worked their magic:<\/p>\n GMCW leads the crowd singing to drown out protesters at Knoxville Pride #southernequalitytour<\/a> #lovewins<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/OATV981Jwb<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 GMCWashington (@GMCWashington) June 17, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So proud to make our voices heard over hate! \u2764\ufe0f?? @GMCWashington<\/a> #SouthernEqualityTour<\/a> #MakeThemHearYou<\/a> #LoveWins<\/a> #KnoxvillePride<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/v2Uv5xAFZj<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rob Serpa (@robserpa) June 17, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post D.C.
