WOW! Not much in the news has shocked and surprised me as much as this article has.
Victor Willis says he will take legal action against any news organization that suggest “Y.M.C.A.” is a gay anthem beginning in January 2025
I’m really curious to know what legal action he intends to take. Doesn’t he have to show some sort of damages for any hope of not throwing his money away on frivolous lawsuits that will go nowhere?
Who the hell does he think he was making money from before? If not for the LGBTQ+ community, that song would just be some old 70s song. Welp, pulling it from my playlist.

He does, but it can also be things like reputation damage or “the fascists stopped paying for my song because they thought it was gay”.

Brilliant. Marvellous, even.
I mean, Liberace sued for libel and won after a news outlet accused of him of being gay:

British libel laws are broken nonsense.
“YMCA” is demonstrably used as and viewed as a gay anthem, even if this fascist-friendly fuck wants to pretend it wasn’t intended as one.
