Friendship with Village People's YMCA is over. Chappell Roan's Hot to Go is my new best friend.

Welp, now we know cultural anthems are one more thing people with MAGA brain rot don't understand.

I mean, Trump hate aside, I personally never thought of the song as gay. It has certainly such a wide appeal that it can be thought of as just a party song, surpassing whatever context may have provided inspiration for it. But reading the statement, I have to say that was a lot of words just to say it isn’t gay lol. And saying my wife will sue you for claiming something I wrote was gay sounds even sillier and like he’s trying to compensate for something.
