That's crazy. Even being in high school in the 80s I thought it was a totally gay band and was grossed out by their music.

You know, it is telling that the band/writer did not know that the "Y" was considered a hangout for gays in more than one way... No idea if this is the right sub. I think it is? It's a odd article.

From the post:
>YMCA singer Victor Willis has U-turned on his opposition to Donald Trump using the song in his rallies - while urging fans not to call it a 'gay anthem'. The 73-year-old founding member of Village People band previously urged the incoming president to stop playing their 1978 disco hit at his political demos. But on Sunday Willis changed his tune, saying he 'didn't have the heart' to continue fighting Trump's team after seeing how much the president-elect 'seems to genuinely like YMCA'. The airtime has pushed the song towards the top of the Billboard charts.
