California's LGBTQ Media Source! * PRINT * DIGITAL * WEB * SOCIAL MEDIA * EVENTS *

On June 22, 2017, hot off  the  #ResistMarch and just prior to the June 28 anniversary of the Stonewall Riots   in  NYC – four   diverse artists with    million-selling  and mainstream media success released a cry for unity and an ode to Harvey Milk in  support  of  GLBT Pride season and basic human equality. The song, “Stronger Together” is part of Karel’s Life In Segments “Where’s Harvey” Pride special in June on  Free  Speech  TV and Revry. It brings together a history-making   broadcaster   and   all-around performer Karel with longtime friend Thea Austin (former million- selling lead singer of Snap! currently  on the “I Love the 90s Tour”) with new  friends Morgan Mallory (“The Voice”) and Daniel Charleston (Pacific Opera Project).

“The song and video are available June 22, 2017. Information is at Karel’s Website, FSTV, Vevo and Youtube. The daily Karel Cast is heard internationally daily and Life In Segments is seen Weekly on Free Speech TV and Revry.

“We are four diverse people, I’m openly gay and allegedly white, Thea is straight but not narrow, a beautiful African American woman, Morgan is so talented and looking for Mrs. Right while Daniel personifies the spirit of the new generation with a classic operatic voice. We are different. But we’ve always been ‘Stronger Together,’” Karel laughed.

“Our country is divided in historic proportions and the GOP and others want to regress human rights, not progress,” Karel started. “More now than ever we need unity, we need the spirit of Harvey Milk to guide us. We cannot go backwards like many want.”

Karel wrote the song prior to the election but shelved it afterwards. Recently, however, he and Morgan Mallory thought the country could use the message.

“We are so divided on every single thing, even things we needn’t be. Maybe this can remind people, all people, that we are, in fact, stronger together,” Mallory stated.

Thea Austin took time from her spot on the “I Love The 90s Tour” to join in the group of friends. “Karel and I have been friends forever and every song he’s recorded, I’ve been on. This one means a lot, because I grewup at a time when I had to hide under my desk as the KKK marched down the street in my hometown, and the teacher told Black children to hide. You don’t forget that, and you never want to see it again,” she added.

The song will be for sale at iTunes, Google Play, Amazon  and all major online providers around the world. It is even going to be featured in Dublin, Ireland’s Gay Pride and in theOuting.ie GLBT Matchmaking Festival in Ireland in October.

“Karel really hit the nail on the head with this one, internationally,” Outing organizer Eddie McGuinness was overheard stating.

“Let’s hope it helps…” Karel added.
