Victor Willis, the singer behind YMCA, has released a message thanking President Trump for dancing to his song. He said the song has “benefited greatly” from Trump's use. Willis also reiterated that the song is not a gay anthem and may sue news outlets calling it gay. "Sadly, when... the President-Elect started using the song, people attempting to brand the song as a gay anthem reached a fever pitch as many used it to say, "Oh, Trump doesn’t know the song is a gay anthem?" This was done in a manner to attempt to shame the President-Elect’s use of the song." "As I stated on numerous occasions, I knew nothing about the Y being a hangout for gays when I wrote the lyrics to Y.M.C.A., and Jacques Morali (who was gay) never once stated such to me. In fact, Jacques never once told me how to write my lyrics otherwise I would have said to him, you don’t need me, why don’t you simply write the lyrics." "I therefore wrote Y.M.C.A. about the things I knew about the Y in the urban areas of San Francisco, such as swimming, basketball, track, and cheap food and cheap rooms. And when I say, “hang out with all the boys” that is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging out together for sports, gambling, or whatever. There’s nothing gay about that."

How cool is this? Willis also revealed that he brought in several millions of dollars solely due to Trump's revival of his song. "Y.M.C.A. has benefited greatly from use by the President-Elect. For example, Y.M.C.A. was stuck at #2 on the Billboard chart prior to the President Elect’s use. However, the song finally made it to #1 on the Billboard chart after over 45 years (and held on to #1 for two weeks) due to the President-Elect’s use. "The financial benefits have been great as well as Y.M.C.A. is estimated to gross several million dollars since the President-Elect’s continued use of the song. Therefore, I’m glad I allowed the President Elect’s continued use of Y.M.C.A. And I thank him for choosing to use my song."

I belong to a YMCA. It is not a hangout for gay people. It’s family’s with kids. Bible verses all over the walls and an actual large Bible in the hallway anyone can read. Young Men’s Christian Association.

The LGTV community loves to claim ownership of things that don't belong to them. Like God's 🌈

President Trump made YMCA cool again!

Now it's like the unofficial assistant US national anthem.

Unlike Dave Grohl who threatened Trump after he used a Foo Fighters song. This is what happens when you embrace your songs being used. You make money!!!

I hope Victor Willis does sue those news outlets that falsely labeled his YMCA song.

They failed at branding it gay. Everybody is doing the dance on TikTok. On football fields. MMA fights. It’s cool. They lose.

Awesome!! This has been the most fun election cycle ever and it’s mainly because of the YMCA and Trumps dance! Love it!

How many other presidents have their own theme song and dance? The world is going happy crazy. Good times are coming back! @realDonaldTrump is the goat!
