In a song posted to YouTube, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus has bragged that they are “coming for” the children of conservatives, saying that they will “convert” them.
The song, entitled “A Message from the Gay Community,” was posted to their YouTube channel. “For those of you out there who are still working against equal rights, we have a message for you,” the lead singer says, before kicking off the song. The chorus then kicks off with sick lyrics, confirming the worst fears of conservatives. “You think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked. Funny, just this once, you’re correct,” the singers brag:
WE’LL CONVERT YOUR CHILDREN,
HAPPENS BIT BY BIT,
QUIETLY AND SUBTLELY [sic]
AND YOU WILL BARELY NOTICE IT…WE’LL CONVERT YOUR CHILDREN,
REACHING ONE AND ALL.
THERE’S REALLY NO ESCAPING IT
‘CAUSE EVEN GRANDMA LIKES RUPAUL.
AND THE WORLD’S GETTING KINDER.
GEN Z’S GAYER THAN GRINDR…WE’RE COMING FOR THEM
WE’RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN
WE’RE COMING FOR THEM
WE’RE COMING FOR THEM
WE’RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN
FOR YOUR CHILDREN…THE GAY AGENDA IS COMING HOME
THE GAY AGENDA IS HERE!

The response to the YouTube video was resoundingly negative, with 114 likes to 7,200 dislikes at the time of writing, with the number of dislikes rising rapidly. The video was ultimately changed to “private” after the massive backlash. “Imagine singing about perverting children and thinking you’re the good guys,” said one commenter, while another said they don’t think “singing about grooming children is a good move to stopping the hate.” Conservatives on social media also slammed the video, calling it “creepy.”

The description of the video was later edited to claim that it was simply about converting people to being “allies” of the gay cause, and that the chorus didn’t want to make your children gay. “Our message to you from the gay community: we will continue do our best to counter the message of hate by teaching young people to be tolerant and fair,” it reads, claiming the video was simply “tongue-in-cheek humor.” (READ MORE: TEXAS: Conservatives Slam Abbott for Refusing to Push Legislation Banning Child Sex Changes During Special Session)
The irony that the chorus was taking place over Zoom to “socially distance” to stop spreading the coronavirus was not lost on some, with conservative commentators highlighting that the gay community in San Francisco was the epicenter of the AIDS bath house epidemic in the 1980s. Anthony Fauci, who led the country’s response to coronavirus, admitted in February to frequenting the gay bars and bath houses at the time, so he could gain a better scientific understanding of how HIV and AIDS spread among the homosexual population.
Just wild that the folks who continued using bath houses at the height of the AIDS epidemic are now having choir rehearsal via Zoom https://t.co/b9FmHKWbtS

This is the second time the Chorus went viral recently, with a cringeworthy live rendition at the Harvey Milk Day celebration of them encouraging people to “vaccinate and make an appointment,” also being subject to much mockery.
