I have read and commented on the recent stories about how Cheryl Dinolfo will have an opponent in her reelection campaign for County Clerk. I wanted to find out some more information on Tom Hasman, her perspective opponent. My research turned up his board membership listing for the Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus. Because I had never heard of this organization before, I decided to peruse the site for some more information on these musically inclined men. What I found was disheartening. They call themselves the “Rochettes” and on their about them page, they state a brief description about the “Rochettes,” it states, and I quote:
One of the most significant, and sought-after attractions of the Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus, is the sub-group known as the “Rochettes”.

They state that amongst the type of performances they do is a “Bump and Grind.” I have been around the block a time or two and that is exactly what its sounds like. You may remember R. Kelly, the R&B singer (currently on trial for soliciting child pornography) had a hit under the same name. In the online ticket section of the site they sell discounted tickets to children 12 and under. I quote and link
