He says that, but he seems to really aggressively be sucking Trumps cock here.

While it’s definitely a fairly gay video, it’s actually less gay than I remembered it being. In any case, it’s too late. Boykissers have long since claimed the song.

The thing is, you're looking at it from 2024 eyes. 46 years ago, it was very definitely a gay video, especially when you throw in things that have been forgotten like the 1970's gay mustache. It wasn't really until Magnum PI that straight men reclaimed the mustache.

I should have mentioned, I tried to avoid conflating the costumes of the non-homophobic members with the message of the song, and it still seemed fairly gay. Particularly when they stood in front of a building with “ramrod” emblazoned across its front and sides.

The segment from Can’t Stop The Music should also be submitted for evidence.

Yeah, that's gay as fuck, especially for the late 70's / early 80's.

As a boykisser, I can assure you that we’re rejecting it at high speed.

I'm kind of surprised that the YMCA dance wasn't in the YMCA music video. I had always assumed that would have been where it started. I guess the dance came after.

He should have called the song "Y.M.C.A. (no homo)"

I really thought all the Village People members were gay. Today I Learned:

“From 1978 until 1982, Willis was married to Phylicia Ayers-Allen (now Phylicia Rashad), whom he met during the run of The Wiz, and who later played Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show”

He's using every brain cell he has to not find out a gay anthem isn't a gay anthem because the entire writing staff is entirely gay and wrote the song for gay men explicitly, but because gay people use it as an anthem.
