So uh, I know this isn't officially a music blog, I just talk about it to much, but I need to say this,

HOT TO GO! is not the gay Y.M.C.A.

The Y.M.C.A. is the gay Y.M.C.A it's literally about gay cruising. I love both songs but seriously

Village People🎶 YMCA

Don’t get me wrong I love Chappell Roan like all the good queers but I’m sick and tired of people calling HOT TO GO! the gay YMCA. Y’all the YMCA is already gay. It’s one of the original gay anthems. You did not just accuse Village People of making heterosexual music. I will not stand for this slander

The strongest evidence that Wilson is gay is the fact that he knows too much about The Village People.

S3 Ep16, "Actually he was only in the Nazy when they sang In The Navy." My man's said that way too quick.

fun facts

although on the surface "YMCA" appears to be about hanging out at the YMCA, the song became a gay anthem of sorts since the YMCA was a popular cruising and hookup spot for young gay men at the time. Writer and singer Victor Willis's publicist said on his behalf that "Victor Willis wrote about the YMCA and having fun there, but the type of fun he was talking about was straight fun. When he says, 'Hang out with all the boys'… he's talking about the boys, the fellas". so... is "YMCA" about having straight fun or gay sex? the world may never know.

the co-writers of "Jenny" have conflicting stories on its lore. Jim Keller claims that Jenny was an ex of his whose number was written on the wall of a bar bathroom, and he called her on a dare then ended up dating her for a bit. Alex Call, however, says Jenny never existed, but he doesn't remember where the number came from
