Membership: historically, more than 1,500 people from within the community have been members of the chorus. We currently have about 180 members, including 100 actively singing at any one time. Members of the portland gay men's chorus do not have to be from portland, gay, a man, nor sing in the chorus. We are proud to be able to say that our membership continues to represent a full spectrum of diversity and is fully representative of the community as a whole. Our bylaws since inception have stated: "anyone shall be eligible for membership in the chorus, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, marital or veteran's status, or disability." Our members come from all walks of life, including nationally, ethnically, politically, spiritually, musically and vocationally. Members have come from many countries including china, india, indonesia, japan, singapore, taiwan, vietnam, panama, peru, france, germany, ireland, and even canada. Our most popular career field is currently clergy.Members of the chorus participate in the following activities including an annual retreat and between 2 to 3 all day rehearsals each year. Assistance to members for dues and retreat is awarded on a need basis.
