The Kennedy Center has canceled the concert "A Peacock Among Pigeons," which was set to feature the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., as part of its Pride celebration. This decision follows a broader trend during the Trump administration to reduce diversity and inclusion initiatives in cultural institutions. Activists and supporters have protested against this change, highlighting a notable decline in LGBTQ+ visibility and representation in the arts under new leadership, including the appointment of Richard Grenell, who is perceived as lacking relevant experience for the role.
The cancellation of "A Peacock Among Pigeons" reflects a growing trend to suppress LGBTQ+ representation and programming within major cultural institutions.
The Gay Men's Chorus expressed disappointment in losing an opportunity to celebrate and uplift the LGBTQ+ community through their music.
