The Flirtations were a pro-LGBT, male a cappella musical group active from 1988 to 1997.
The original members were Jon Arterton, Michael Callen, Aurelio Font, TJ Myers, and Cliff Townsend.
The group later reconfigured: for the album Three, Jon Arterton and Jimmy Rutland were joined by the woman Suede.
Their music provided an opportunity for both a celebration of gay culture and a call to arms in the battle against AIDS and homophobia.
They were fronted by the gay activist Michael Callen from establishment in 1988 until his death from AIDS-related disease in 1993.
