Statement from San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus

As a community outreach organisation dedicated to bringing positive change to the world through music, we applaud the San Diego Padres organisation and its chief executive Mike Dee for its ongoing efforts to make something good come out of unfortunate recent events. We have met with Mr. Dee and he has agreed to meet with and work closely with the LGBT community to bring our communities together with constructive, positive change.

We also would like to publicly accept the sincere apology of DJ ARTFORM and recognise his support for the LGBT community and equality for all people. We do not wish to see him lose his job with the San Diego Padres and kindly ask the Padres to reinstate him. Everyone deserves a second chance.

We have been overwhelmed by the positive support from people around the world and would like to thank Mayor Kevin Faulconer, City Councilman Todd Gloria and many other community leaders for helping us turn this into something positive for the City of San Diego.
