We will be speaking to Patrick McNamara (@patrick_mc_namara) chairperson of Dublin Gay Men's Chorus (@dublingaymenschorus) following the decision by St. Andrew’s Church in Dublin to cancel their planned recital citing incompatibility with the church's mission and about the overwhelming support the choir received in the wake of the disappointing decision.
