Is the song YMCA about pedophilia?

[Fred1437]

Please keep in mind that my English is not fluent.

I used to like the song YMCA and it's in my playlist on my mp3 player.
But recently, when the song comes up, with my playlist on random, I skip it.
Like I said, my English is weak, so what I'm asking there is for you to tell me this song is not about pedophilia?

[SmoMan71]

Uh, no. It's about the YMCA. Which stands for "Young Men's Cristian Assosation" but more importantly when talking about the song was a common place for gay dudes to hang out.

[Fred1437]

Thanks. I guess I got the "young men"'s meaning wrong.

[Fred1437]

I would choose you as MHO but I don't seem to be able to

[SmoMan71]

Give it a day or two.

[Philyouup]

No its about how gay men seek out other guys and where

[Pamina]

No, it's about gay mingling.

[H2OHydrox]

No. YMCA's were known as a hangout/hookup spot for gay men in the 70s

[MillenniumBill]

It's about the YMCA and all the activities it provides. Nothing sexual.

[Rubnn]

YES

Multiple kids got raped and sexually abused in the camp.
And you can’t tell me than the text
“They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys”
It sounds really creepy and pedo like

[MarketData]

No, why would you think that? It's about gay adults.

[madhatters4]

no it is not about pedophilia at all

[wankiam]

its always just been a gay anthem

[natgal]

Its a gay song , not a pedo song

[Alistayr]

It isn't. It's about the YMCA

[Fred1437]

That's not even an answer...

[Alistayr]

All right, it's about being gay. Is that even an answer?

[Alistayr]

I took it for granted, from your question, that you knew what YMCA stood for. Forgive me.

[Alistayr]

Anyway, my answer was perfectly good. You asked if it was about pedophilia, and I told you it wasn't, so no need to get uppity.
