The Village People's Victor Willis is upset people call YMCA a "gay anthem," wants that to stop & calls it "defamatory" & says his wife will sue anyone who says that starting in January (lol). Oh, well I suppose we wouldn't want anyone to make that association now. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1106985040831833&id=100045610422721&rdid=sLoysbGZhyZBGNmX

Come on.. the leather man was straight out of Tom of Finland 😆
But his idiotic statement is like watching THIS and claiming:
"These extremely macho guys need extremely hot women.
That's who's on the other end of the line. Women only!"
And if nobody has seen this, watch! It's *dripping* with 1985!
And of course, OF COURSE Willis is the guy cosplaying as a cop. You can't make this shit up.
Many ways to have a good time"
"They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys"
From the Village People album "Cruisin" in 1978.

Let’s find out!
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
You can hang out with all the boys
I was there in the 80's. The gaslighting will not work on me.
This is all that matters.
Judge - Plaintiffs you have no case, dismissed
Yeah, that's why it's an anthem?
bitches about how it’s interpreted
and
Why her?
And, baby, that's on every karaoke machine in every gay bar in the world
No one is calling him gay and I don't think you can defame a song.
But, yes, I am sure he wants to cash in
You cannot tell people
how to consume art.
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Coward, Wilde, O’Connor, Warhol, Plath, Hockney, Banksy, & US justice system will tell you:
What the author
intended
is immaterial.
(btw, MAGA are tapped out. Yer not gonna find any grift left for ya.)
He's not saying he or the group are being defamed, but it's somehow defamatory?
Nothing is wrong with YMCA being a gay anthem. 😅
“There’s been a lot of talk…that YMCA is somehow a gay anthem….a false assumption based on the fact that my writing partner was gay, and some (not all) of Village People were gay, and that the first Village People album was totally about gay life….”
🤦🏻♀️
