San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus faced threats after satirical video

In July 2021, a satirical San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus song was circulated widely outside its original context. The parody played on longstanding rhetoric claiming LGBTQ+ people seek to “convert” children.

The chorus said members and soloists received harassment, doxing attempts and death threats after the video spread through right-wing and conspiracy-oriented media. The organisation temporarily removed the video while responding to the threats.
