16 | FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE “We are always looking for new voices both within the chorus and also on our governing board,” Sours said. “We would welcome anyone who has a heart for service and anyone who has a heart for the music and the art that we share.” PHXGMC will continue to evolve, but its goal remains rooted in creating a welcoming and inspiring community. With each name change and leadership transition, the organization has embraced its identity more fully. This sense of continuity and purpose is evident in its collaborations with the Valley community, showcasing a dedication to nurturing future artists and leaders. A commitment to authenticity and community resilience is what truly defines the chorus. “I come from a leadership standpoint of, ‘We have got to be proactive instead of reactive.’ So a part of that is putting ourselves out there in a light that shows that, yes, we are who we are, but we are not who you say we are,” Lozano said. “We stand for what’s right. And we fight against what is wrong. That is what I want the world to know about this organization. This is what the Phoenix Gay Men’s Chorus stands for. And we’re not afraid, and we will not run.” To learn more, visit phxgmc.org . PHXGMC is a member of GALA Choruses (the International Gay & Lesbian Association of Choruses) and has participated in seven GALA Festivals. CREATING CULTURE
