“God Help the Outcasts” (from “40”)

On World Aids Day
under the direction of Tim Seelig

WORLD AIDS DAY annually calls us to remember the loss of a generation of people who lived gentle, fierce, gifted lives. Yet, they were treated as outcasts, abandoned by those in political power to fend for themselves against the deadly AIDS pandemic. Each member of The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, knows what it is like to face the challenges, heartache, discouragement, and fear of such a deadly enemy; the Chorus, itself, has lost over 300 of its members to HIV/AIDS. We include here its poignant rendition of “God Help the Outcasts,” which was recorded under the direction of Dr. Tim Seelig.
