From 1989, this is certainly not what you would expect, the Vancouver Men and Women Choruses
backing female vocalists on bilingual versions of a dance track, called "We Are Proud"

Attention, Artistic Directors!

At the risk of being extremely impertinent, I'm going to suggest a few songs
that in my opinion have not been recorded enough by GLBT choruses.
Now, they may be performed in concert often, but if they are not recorded
they are gone to history. This list of 15 have been mostly recorded only once.
So this is my nudge to consider them. Click on the link to hear each one.

Extras

Chicago's Windy City Gay Chorus had an unusual cassette-only release in 1992

Below, probably a reflection of those times, Houston's HeartSong did not identify
as a lesbian chorus, though by membership I'm told it mostly was.
I wanted to document this history and set up a special page, Click Here.

And, just for fun, I don't own many foreign chorus CDs, so here are two of them:
Stockholms Gaykor - Karlek Forandrar Allt (Love Changes Everything) 2007
Scola Cantorosa - Schwule Im Weltraum (Gays In Space) 1995
