The One Voice Choir is not officially part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the ensemble is invited to perform this weekend at an LDS church-sponsored event intended to reach out to the LGBT community.

The choir's musical director, Bryan Horn, leads the ensemble in rehearsal.
Growing up in Utah, Ross Owen watched the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on television every Sunday with his family.
"It was almost like watching a rock concert, and I thought, 'Oh, I'd love to do that,' " he says.
But by the time Owen was old enough to join the choir, he was no longer a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; he had been excommunicated after he came out as gay.
