Cougar Pride Center, a group run by BYU students and alumni, will be starting a queer chorus in time for the beginning of the school year.
This chorus will be not only be open to BYU-affiliated members, but any member of the public, regardless of sexual orientation.
BYU student David Shill, who will be the local choir director, said Cougar Pride Center’s choir will welcome everyone. "We just will not tolerate any sort of hateful language or homophobic comments or stuff like that. So, we’re still very adamant that it’s a safe space for queer people, but non-BYU students, alumni, anyone who wants to can participate,” he said.
Shill was a member of BYU Singers, and said, “I just loved the opportunity to bond, and I could see how much of a community it made.”
