The Portland Gay Men's Chorus (PGMC) is a gay-identified, non-profit choral group based in Portland, Oregon. Founded in the spring of 1980 by three members inspired by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, PGMC held its inaugural concert on June 19, 1980, at the Metropolitan Community Church of Portland. The chorus is recognized as the fourth oldest to publicly identify as gay. Throughout its career, PGMC has been active in Portland’s civic and cultural life, performing at notable events such as the openings of Pioneer Courthouse Square and the Oregon Convention Center, and the inauguration of Oregon Secretary of State Barbara Roberts in 1985.
