In their response, they predictably blamed the far-right conservative media for taking it out of context. They've taken the video down and stated they are actively working to "control the narrative". Guys, I think that ship has sailed.

Of course it's not them that made this terrible, terrible decision - of course it's the far-right that's to blame for taking this TOTALLY tongue-in-cheek song for something it's not.

For what it's worth, I'm not a conservative, and I didn't find the video facetious. I felt the tone was arrogant, narcissistic, and baiting.

I believe that was their point in the first place, to be provocative, to cross boundaries, to be quee.. oh wait!

I will play devil's advocate here and say that there's some merit to this assessment, as the ones who threw a fit about this were the usual culture war obsessed, outrage machine clickbait garbage media.

The framing of this as some kind of big conspiracy with 'the gays' trying to convert children is pure bs.

Facebook/online gay-bashers will get years of memes and fake news out of this one stupid video. Christmas came early for those people this year.

Christmas

But don't say 'Happy Homophobic Holidays' (which is nicely alliterative) because they hate that too. Also something something red cups?
