Portland Gay Men's Chorus

The group was founded in the spring of 1980 when three founding members, inspired by a performance of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, placed an ad in a local gay newspaper looking for potential members.

Soon after, on June 19, 1980, the group sang in their inaugural concert at the Metropolitan Community Church of Portland.

PGMC is the fourth oldest chorus to publicly identify as gay by using that description in their official name.

Since its founding, PGMC has been active in the civic and cultural life of Portland and Oregon.
