Donald Tmp's Great Gay Rock-Star SpectacleWhat means that the Republin nomee brought Queen’s “We Are the Champns” to the polil arenaMike Segar"Thank you everybody, thank you, we love you, thank you very much.
HAPPY PRIDE! HOW “Y.M.C.A.” BEME A GAY ANTHEM!
I spoke wh Ken McLeod, the thor of We are the Champns: The Polics of Sports and Popular Mic, for his thoughts on Tmp’s e of one of the all-time great (and gayt) sports anthems. But, of urse, 's done to rry a msage of homosexual liberatn.
And then as the song be a staple at sportg events, gets sort of verted as a heteronormative anthem and those homosexual nnotatns get 's very much keepg wh notns of the spectacle and atmosphere of the rnivalque that sportg events—and polil ralli, for that matter—pend on creatg.
All the songs were probably about homosexual liberatn, but you read them as was adolcent liberatn. It's surprisg how many of the songs that have been taken up as sportg anthems sort of promulgate a homosexual or alternative-liftyle msage. The Village People's “YMCA” beg another example, where 's okay to get up at a baseball game and dance to a homosexual anthem.
