In the spring of 2010, it was announced that The Boston Gay Men's Chorus would give a performance of "We the People," a sweeping work for chorus and narrators that delves into the social, legal, religious, and historical aspects of the marriage equality debate with U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano, a long time chorus season subscriber, as guest narrator. The work includes the personal stories of married chorus members and supporters including David Wilson and Rob Compton, plaintiffs from the Goodrich decision. [Link]
