Righteously Outrageous Twirling Corps

The Righteously Outrageous Twirling Corps is a Chicago-based visual performance ensemble of gay male volunteers.

It also travels across the country to perform at various LGBTQ events.

[1] The group was formed in 1992 by Ron Rubright, Bruce Linsmeyer and Chuck Henson, and was meant to provide light entertainment to gay pride parades that they felt were too serious.

[2] Their uniform borrows elements from military garb (khaki or camouflage with black boots),[2] but also includes camp elements, and members are encouraged to personalize their wardrobes.

Although the group marches in unison and performs synchronized movements, the music is generally techno, disco, or a gay anthem.
