"Congratulations on a great concert! Your talent and concern for each other certainly come through on the stage. Not knowing a single one of you personally - I care about each one of you."

"I want to thank each and every one of the members of Diverse Harmony for sharing your gifts with us Saturday night. Your songs and music lifted my spirit. But your stories of coming out were truly inspirational. I have held each of you in my heart since then. When I compare my own clumsy and nearly tragic coming out thirty years ago with your experiences of today, I see that the process is still fraught with fear and emotion. Thankfully, you have the support of each other and from an ever-growing community of people dedicated to the belief that we all have the right to love as we wish."

"What a delight! Keep up your joy and spirit!"

"Keep up the good work; this is a tremendous forum for young people to get together in a judgment-free zone and accomplish something beautiful."

"We are a gay couple who have been together for 30 years. Our newly adopted son is our second adopted son. He is gay and loves his role in D.H. Thanks for the support!"

"I read my program notes in the GALA VIIe book and was reminded of the joyous tears I shed during your group's performance in Montreal. Although I have been out for nearly 30 of my 50 years, it hasn't always been an easy road with parts of my family and work life. Throughout it all, however, it's been the gift of music that has sustained me and helped to heal rifts. Bless your young singers and their supporters for continuting this important work!"

"I saw your performance at GALA and was very moved. An organization such as yours should be given every chance to succeed and every penny helps. Keep up the good work!"

"I came to your concert the other night at Seattle First Baptist Church. My heart was so touched by the members and by the love and respect I felt they have for one another. I only wish there had been a gay/diverse chorus and support group when I was a teenager. "

"The gift of music and the experience of sharing it with friends and audiences is one to be cherished. It is a pleasure to help young people share in this experience and to help them experience it in an even larger dimension in Montreal."

"I am amazed at the bravery of these gay (& questioning) young people who have the courage to be who they are, and the straight young people who have the courage to be their friends and to sing with them in public. I didn't know there were other people like me until I was 24 years old and in college. The world has certainly changed, and these young people and Seattle First Baptist Church and Companis are creating a new and more accepting world for everyone."

"It's an honor in life to help young people achieve a dream, especially when they have the courage to dream big."

"The people involved with Diverse Harmony want to change the world for the better... and I want to help them do it."

"The arts were a refuge for me in school. I know that Diverse Harmony provides the safe, supportive and fun environment that every kid should have."
