The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus has become the target of right-wing trolls following the release of a new comedy video.The song, titled “A Message From the Gay Community,” debuted on YouTube earlier this month.
The song, a satirical tune making fun of the longtime right-wing charge that gay people would recruit children, makes note of gains in visibility and acceptance by LGBTQ people in recent years.“There’s really no escaping it/’cause even grandma likes Rupaul/And the world’s getting kinder/Gen Z’s gayer than Grindr,” sing the men in the video.The premise of the song–and a few out-of-context lyrics–have attracted the fury of the Republican troll machine.
