LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - An increase in “bigotry” during Donald Trump’s presidency fueled homophobia, but it also spurred a new wave of LGBT+ activism in the United States, according to the director of a documentary about the renowned San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus.
“Gay Chorus Deep South”, to be broadcast on Pop, Logo and Pluto TV on Sunday, follows the choir as it toured the U.S. South during Trump’s first year in office to attempt to bridge divisions exposed by the 2016 presidential election.
“What these four years have done, in terms of legislation, in terms of bigotry, has heightened (things). But I think that it also strengthened the other side,” said documentary director David Charles Rodrigues.
