Republicans happily sing that song, but it's about being gay and hanging out there having fun with other gays. Which Republicans are 100% against.
Isnt that against their religion?
Reminds me when the first wave of GOP Christian Nationalist Tea Party, the Party of Family Values embraced “teabagging” the first black President to show their resistance. Uhm, you do know what “teabagging” is? Here’s a song about some young men having a gay time staying at the YMCA.
Reminds me of a bat mitzvah that I once attended The moms were dancing with their daughters to some rap tune that used disparaging hardcore lyrics aimed towards women. The lyrics were so horrible that I shouldn't mention them but since the holidays are here I will give you a hint: "Ho Ho Ho!'
Isn't it painful to realize they're probably not laughing at him? Seriously, he looks like a total moron. A caricature of a clown. Drunken uncle at a holiday gathering. Truly pathetic. Unfortunately, even I can't laugh at this point, he just makes me wanna hork.
They were probably all proud of themselves, too. Ugh. I can't say it often enough. I wish they could have FAFO'd without dragging the rest of us down with them. Dregs.
I thought he was warned to stop playing other people's music in a public forum without permission.
I guess he doesn't care, he's the orange Mafia now..
Thank you! I am straight but know who the Village People and what the song meant. Just because you hear it at weddings and everyone dances, doesn't mean you understand. Oy vey. Sort of like I Will Always Love You should never be a wedding song. Listen to the lyrics 😂
Trump got Elon to throw his hands in the air and “groove” like the obsequious toady that he is. Maybe this is just one way Trump humiliates people, including his own supporters.
I thought that was hilarious that all those homophobics had NO IDEA they were dancing to a gay anthem. On the other hand I thought is was terrible that they were that culturally unaware
It IS a gay anthem but it was created to poke fun at the very white Christian face of the YMCA. Maybe I’m a cynic but I think the song choice has to do with that and the fact it was a safe space for young white men at its inception
yes and you hit my hot button. We need to make Critical Thinking a mandatory class starting in middle school - and all the way thru high school. This election is such evidence that it is sorely needed in this country
It would be tempting to tell them but I would rather wait until they did it over and over and over - and then tell them. I am good waiting for the ultimate humiliation
Not just marginalize — they obviously don’t listen to the lyrics they’re singing. It’s a fucking gay ANTHEM/Guide to picking up guys at a YMCA.
It always baffles me. . . .
I was also highly amused to find out they sing Madonna's "Like a Prayer" in some churches. Um. I Do Not Think That Means What You Think It Means... ::snork::
Seeing as how there's a huge surge in gay prostitution and Grindr use whenever a GOP convention is in town, *someone* in the party damn well knows that. Though I suspect they keep quite about it to maintain their cover. Gotta keep that on the down low.
I've heard that allot, but I have to wonder if he's just aro/ace. When you look at some of the past congressional republicans suspected of being gay or bi, there were more tells. Dennis Hassert, Mark Foley, Aaron Schock, and Matt Gaetz come to mind.
MSP spent like $1 million renovating the bathrooms after the Larry Craig scandal broke. It's been a while since I've been to the airport, but I'm pretty sure they changed it so the under-stall foot tapping is no longer possible.
He also used to come out to Creedenxe Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son”. A song literally about someone in the Vietnam Draft because he didn’t have a rich and connected Daddy.
Self awareness not his strongest suit. And his suits are terrible
It saddens me when the parents teach their kids to judge. The neighborhood bully kids were singing and dancing this song today in front of our house, to mock our display of pride flags. The next time I see them, I plan to open the door and play the song so they can sing properly.
Unfortunately, those marginalizing the communities that made YMCA iconic are completely clueless that those communities made the song iconic. You need to give them a sign (perhaps a few bolts of of multicoloured lightning)… 🤷♂️
I don't know any of the new members, most of my friends the originals have passed so I don't know who holds the rights. I do know Felipe the original American Indian is still alive but I haven't seen him in years.
My daughters and I were discussing this at Thanksgiving. Are they really THAT stupid that they don't understand what / who the song is about? Oh wait, yes, yes they are.
It cracks me up when I see "Born in the USA" played at these mega events and Republican conventions and whatever. And they have no idea about Bruce Springsteen's politics or the meaning behind that song! Fucking idiots! (I'm sorry, God. I didn't mean to cuss in your presence. Please forgive me.)
I watched the video. New lyrics for YMCA
"Yes, all my friends are racists today!
There's no way to hide it, All of the way!"
BTW, Junior and Kimberly seemed conspicuously invisible.
I remember hearing YMCA blaring from Tucson's "bath house row"..all the way over at the Swap Meet,..til the Sheriffs burned them all out..of course. That ended that.

MAGA made it better by ignoring the context.
freedom > nuance!
I guess he doesn't care, he's the orange Mafia now..
American republicans can never "groove".
#yannidontgetdown
I wonder if Trump and Elon know this. Should we tell them?
How about, stumble awkwardly out of time?
It always baffles me. . . .
We get tired if watching this old dude try to dance knowing knowing he hates us.
I tried.
Next you’ll be telling me Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” isn’t about how awesome the MAGA movement is!!!!
Mizz Lindsey bring exhibit A through G

Like grooving on the old show Soul Train.
It's like a bobble head with bobble arms.
A guilty pleasure ;D
trump and his homophonic magats look down on the very group of people that produced and sang this song.
trump's magats are the braindead people that wear the red hats of stupidity.
"Yes, all my friends are racists today!

This entire cabinet is a troll. Everything about MAGA is a troll.
As a former jazz and ballet dancer
…No
It’s shuffling… and moving arms. Trump doesn’t even have a sense of rhythm. It’s cringe
