There was indeed a YMCA at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Guantanamo Bay Naval Base was formerly the site of a YMCA in Cuba, specifically referring to it in historical contexts like from the year 1918.

This information suggests that at some point, there was a YMCA presence at the base, which aligns with the broader historical use of the facility for various purposes over the years.

And it’s a catchy song 😉🐸👻

OK.

But why would the song be connected? The idea for the song came from a specific YMCA in a gay neighborhood in Manhattan that was a hotspot of gay activity.

Back then 99% of Americans didn't know Guantanamo Bay existed. And even less would there was a YMCA there.

The French music producer who created the Village People and came up with the idea for YMCA didn't even know what a YMCA was before he came to NY. https://www.spin.com/2008/05/ymca-oral-history/

Hodo: It was 1977, and we were leaving a photography session on 23rd Street. Jacques Morali saw the big pink YMCA on 23rd and asked, “What is this YMCA, anyway? “And after laughing at his accent, we told him the Y was a place where you could go when you first came to New York when you didn’t have any money — you can stay there for very little. And of course, someone joked, “Yeah, but don’t bend over in the showers. “And Jacques, bless his heart, said, “I will write a song about this!”

Jones: David’s a little off. Yeah, Jacques came up with the idea. But what happened is that when I moved to New York in 1975, I joined the McBurney YMCA on 23rd Street. I took Jacques there three or four times in 1977, and he loved it. He was fascinated by a place where a person could work out with weights, play basketball, swim, take classes, and get a room. Plus, with Jacques being gay, I had a lot of friends I worked out with who were in the adult-film industry, and he was impressed by meeting people he had seen in the videos and magazines. Those visits with me planted a seed in him, and that’s how he got the idea for “Y.M.C.A.” — by literally going to the YMCA.

"Gloria" was the next song after YMCA. This is the song that was playing when President Trump was holding the mysterious Red Folder just before he spoke at the White House lawn Jan 6th 2021.

[Verse 1] Gloria, you're always on the run now Running after somebody You gotta get him somehow I think you've got to slow down Before you start to blow it I think you're headed for a breakdown So be careful not to show it

[Refrain] You really don't remember Was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

[Verse 2] Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'? If everybody wants you Why isn't anybody callin'? You don't have to answer Leave 'em hangin' on the line Oh-oh, calling Gloria

[Chorus] Gloria (Gloria) I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) That you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember Was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3] A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha Gloria, how's it gonna go down? Will you meet him on the main line? Or will you catch him on the rebound? Will you marry for the money? Take a lover in the afternoon? Feel your innocence slippin' away Don't believe it's comin' back soon

[Refrain] And you really don't remember Was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

[Verse 4] Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'? If everybody wants you Why isn't anybody callin'? You don't have to answer Leave them hangin' on the line Oh-oh, calling Gloria

[Chorus] Gloria (Gloria) I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) That you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember Was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? [Outro] (Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria) (Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)

I would hope that the YMCA at Guantanamo Bay is a far cry from today's "woke" YMCA.

From the YMCA's website: "When George Williams founded the first YMCA in Industrial Revolution-era London, he sought to create a supportive community to help young men like himself address pressing social challenges. The idea found a home in the U.S. seven years later at the **Old South Church in Boston." **

The Old South Church in Boston is a United Church of Christ. YMCA stands for Young Men's Christian Association. Even though it has "Christian" in it's name it doesn't seem very "Christian" to me. And of course it's no longer men only.

From it's website I pulled an excerpt from it's DEI statement: "Together, we strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender expression, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity."

"Gender expression, gender identity.....sexual orientation". In my view the YMCA has long ago been compromised and infiltrated. We need to take back the YMCA and make it great again!

MYMCAGA!

Yes! And I doubt if there's much "Christian" in the YMCA or YWCA.

– CaptainQuip 3 points 113 days ago +3 / -0

There isn't.

The YMCA stands for Young Men's Christian Association. Modern Day YMCAs are simply referred to as The Y. Originally the YMCA was a Christian based organization eventually accepting all religions and races.

YWCA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

While the YWCA has been a focus of feminist ideas and practice, which in popular culture may be associated with lesbianism, the YWCA has none of the history of actual sexual activity that the YMCA has.

Sounds like they're both a bunch of shit now.

I guess it depends on where you live. My daughter and her family belong to a YMCA in a fairly rural area. It's very much a family place, as is the one where I live.

I agree. I'm in a ruralish bedroom community and the Y in our village is nice. Even though I wasn't a member, they let me come take a shower when my hot water tank bit the dust and couldn't get a new one right away.

There's a big county Y complex, almost 180 acres, in the next town over that's really nice.

All kinds of indoor/outdoor stuff, including, Chapel, Climbing Walls, Multi-Purpose Room, Handball and Racquetball Courts, Outdoor Field, Pool, Roller Skating Rink, Ropes Challenge, Soccer, Basketball, a playground, a hiking area, just to name some of the features.

The big one truly is. We first saw it decades ago when some events from my kid's school were held there. It was jaw-dropping then. They keep adding things, (you can put a lot of stuff on 180 acres and still have room to spare), so it's probably more so, now.

Yep, rural is 'where it's at'!

The YMCA image has been popping up on my X feed for quite a few days now, maybe a few weeks. Thought it was common knowledge, so didn't think to put it on GAW. However, when I put the image in TinEye, it wasn't found, so that's odd.

My big question is why is Catherine Herridge at Camp Justice, instead of covering the inauguration? Something's going on.... One of her recent posts:

New on the ground reporting from Guantanamo Bay just went up for @X subscribers.

You can support our work for just $7 monthly to gain access. Our team is here all week as the new Trump Administration takes control of the operation.

Are they gearing up for military tribunals?

Yes, the Herridge reporting is most interesting, sure seems that something is brewing. I had not seen the post with the $7 access. If I shelled out $7 here, $8 there, and so many other places, I'd truly be out of money....ain't much to go around. 😐 Thanks for the additional Herridge info!
