America is one big gay disco – Andrew Cornell Robinson

This month I’m listening to allot of dance music, the gayer the better. This playlist begins with Louis La Roche’s “One Big Gay Disco,” which spins a very danceable track around a rightwing christian nationalist rant against “smug elites” and “gays”, and “disco”. What a great way to turn a frown upside down, make it into a disco hit!

One Big Gay Disco by Louis La Roche

“I’ve always been fascinated with the origins of disco and house music. Looking back at photos and footage, the crowd mixed so much more than they do now. Black, Gay, White, Straight, Male, Female, Trans…, nobody cared about who you were under those lights. I found some hate speech stating that America is “One Big Gay Disco”, as if that was a bad thing. So, I decided, fuck you, chopped up the audio, rearranged it and made it a positive thing.”
Louis La Roche, The Music Essentials

T-T-This is an uprising against
Smug Elites
Smug Elites
So they’re the villians
And the opposite is America
Because America is now
One Big Gay Disco
One Big Gay Disco
Fight the people who don’t like Disco
One Big Gay Disco
One Big Gay Disco

You’re fighting for the Gay Disco
Die for the Gay Disco
You’re fighting for the Gay Disco
Die for the Gay Disco
