The Queer Chorus of San Francisco (QCSF) was founded in 1980[1] by Jon Reed Sims (1947–1984).
[2][3] Initially known as the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Men’s Community Chorus, it was the world's first choral organization to use both "lesbian" and "gay" in its name,[4] Within a few years, the chorus changed its name to Lesbian/Gay Chorus of San Francisco (LGCSF).
In March 2022, by a vote of its membership, the group changed its name to "The Queer Chorus of San Francisco".
[5] The Queer Chorus of San Francisco is dedicated to building and enriching its communities through the universal language of music.
