ABOUT THE PINK TRIANGLE ANNUAL EVENT:
From ThePinkTriangle.com, the Pink Triangle is an annual commemoration of the gay victims of the Holocaust and a reminder of the on-going inhumanity to repressed minorities going on now around the world. The event transforms Twin Peaks, in San Francisco, into a memorial that can be seen from miles away. The goal of the Pink Triangle event is to remind people that even though the hatred that existed in Germany 70 years ago that led to the creation of the Pink Triangle no longer exists there, such hatred certainly persists in many parts of the world including Uganda, Malawi, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
This video would not have been possible without the following:
- Patrick Carney of ThePinkTriangle.com
- Shawn Kirchner who wrote this gorgeous song
- Dr. Timothy Seelig and the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus who featured Shawn Kirchner and his partner Ryan Harrison at our latest concert "Hootenanny!". They performed this song, and that's when I realized that it could be a great fit for this video. The song was inspired by the movie Brokeback Mountain about a love story of two gay cowboys in America.
- Extra special thanks to Shawn Northcutt for teaching me how to make better videos.
SEAN CHAPIN, I PLAY THIS EVERY YEAR FOR MY FRIENDS... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR CREATING IT... I WEEP UNCONTROLLABLY EACH TIME I SEE THIS.... THANK YOU ETERNALLY.....
This has been posted for three years, now, and it STILL compels me to uncontrollable tears.... absolutely exquisite....
This is a great video. Thank you! Shawn Kirchner performed the song this past weekend in West Hollywood for the staged reading of "Beyond Brokeback". Shawn and Ryan will also be performing songs from the album on Aug 13-14 in San Francisco for the Man Dance Company performance of "Hollywood Knights", and again in November at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago.
@69JHL - The song is actually sung by Ryan Harrison, Shawn Kirchner's partner.
This music is the Golden Gate that leads us to the mountain. Thank you Shawn and Ryan. Beautiful....
@Jakethoroughgood, the song is "Meet Me On The Mountain" written by Shawn Kirchner and sung by Ryan Harrison. They both performed at the latest San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus concert (I'm a singing member), and while they performed this gorgeous song, that's when I realized that this song would fit perfectly with a video montage of the Pink Triangle. You can purchase his wonderful music on his website shawnkirchner - dot - com
STILL EXQUISITE... THIS VID IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT..... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, SEAN....
@SeanChapin1 Oops! Thanks, Sean. I meant Ryan. I was at a performance in LA last year and heard him sing it. I'm a big fan of Shawn and Ryan and their music.

@TheOregondoggie Larry: Quite a coincidence that this video was posted the same day Shawn was singing the song in West Hollywood :)
