New slap to the progressives: Village People will be at Donald Trump's ceremony
The left is irritated because the famous group recognized for the song "Y.M.C.A." will be at Trump's inauguration.
The famous American group, Village People, recognized for their worldwide hit "Y.M.C.A.," has slapped the progressives. The group, known as an anthem and widely recognized among homosexuals, has confirmed their participation in Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony.
The news has sparked an intense debate, especially on social media, where some members of the LGBTI community have labeled the band members as "traitors."
Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump used "Y.M.C.A." as a flagship song at numerous rallies, joined by a choreography that quickly went viral. His characteristic dance was imitated by athletes and public figures in the United States, becoming a cultural phenomenon in recent months.
However, Village People's decision to participate in such a controversial event has sparked criticism. Especially among Democrats, who consider that their performance could contradict the values associated with their music and historical legacy in the fight for LGBTI rights. Although it's important to emphasize that it's anachronistic to associate the fight for homosexual freedoms with the progressive LGTBI lobby.
Meanwhile, others argue that it's an opportunity to present their art without aligning politically. Considering that such a renowned musical group doesn't have to conform to ideological issues imposed by political parties.
The group's performance at the ceremony promises to be one of the most talked-about moments. Not only for its cultural weight but for the polarization it has caused around their participation.
From Village People, they left what could be described as a regrettable comment about their performance at Trump's ceremony:
Our song "Y.M.C.A." is a global anthem that we hope will help unite the country after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost.
Through a statement, the band members indicated that they consider it's the right time to unite the country through music. Explaining their decision to participate in the series of events organized for the inauguration of the president-elect.
