School choir cancels performance at gay-lesbian service
An elementary school choir that emphasizes diversity dropped out of a service celebrating the gay community because too few parents gave permission for their children to participate. The H.W. Smith Elementary School's Rainbow Kids international chorus was to perform Sunday at the annual "Equality Begins At Home" event, organized by local churches and gay and lesbian groups. "The understanding of this thing is exactly in the title of the event," Benedict said Monday. "The difficulty came at home. I'm not vilifying parents, but what I'm saying is this shows that our work isn't done as a society."
