Recently overheard a member of 'the greatest generation' say they didn't realize the Village People were gay.

When I was 6, they were my favorite band. Too young to understand their act.

But as an adult? I mean...the range goes like

Not Gay
Kinda Gay
Gay
Clearly Gay
YMCGay

Make no mistake, I respected them more when I understood (and I still love disco today). But there was almost no subtext to their act and they got away with it.

Brilliant, yet blatant! How do you not get the point?

@DanAmrich bare buns and a leather man? How do you not get they were SO gay. I’m mean watch “Can’t Stop The Music,” which oddly included Caitlyn Jenner long before she transitioned.

@sfleetucker Yeah, I mean...as an adult, then or now, how did NO light go on? LOL.

@DanAmrich Well when Trump used to play “YMCA” and “it’s raining men” at his rallies, the left would have a comment at his/his cult’s sheer ignorance of the meaning behind the songs.

Clear that none of them had ever seen a Leather Daddy before, obvs.
