It's easy for ANY straight woman (at least the ones with a heartbeat, lol) to find a 'summer fling'. Most women only find 4.5% of men to be sexually appealing. It is those 4.5% of men, who are literally running through/smashing and dashing/pumping and dumping at least 35-40% of women out there. Those men are called 'Chads'!

I've never listened to song because it's of a particular genre but because I like it. I was born in 1955 when we didn't have the copious choices of TV, radio, etc. like we do now. We watched whatever was on and some radio stations we couldn't pick up until after sunset. My hometown had CBS, NBC and PBS only when I was growing up.

For example, if a female singer wears a gown to perform a song on stage, that gown becomes a costume, because the gown is now a contributing factor in judging her performance. Sylvester may have worn certain outfits in everyday life. However, once he stepped on stage that outfit is then labelled a costume. I am not speaking of Halloween costumes or masks.

He never ran from his sexuality and put his androgyny on full display, unashamedly, at a time when it was more dangerous to be open! That’s definitely something to admire! R.I.P. Sylvester! Oh, and, this song is still a jam in 2022! ❤️❤️❤️

Vivi aquela época e essas coisas não importavam tanto. Quem fazia distinção entre as pessoas, era colocado de lado. Diferente de hoje em dia, onde as pessoas ofendidas são aquelas que mais evidenciam o preconceito e vivem disso para chamar atenção, naquela época, pessoas como ele, não estavam nem aí, para o que diziam dele. Ele viveu e curtiu a vida com alegria.

[@ajackson9326]

Remember, the last Pride Parade before his death was taken by AIDS related complications, Sylvester, who at the time was a shell of himself due to his illness, was courageous enough to attend. When the attendants saw Sylvester, they were in shock. This act, at the time, really put a “celebrity’s” face on the disease that had already taken countless numbers of lives. Arguably, this act pushed not only HIV awareness forward, but rights for the LGBTQIA + community also. This was a selfless act by Sylvester, showing himself in his most vulnerable position, to bring more awareness to both causes. RIP Sylvester.

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

Didn't know this thanks for sharing. I've seen pictures of people with AIDS in the 80s and they are devastating. Apparently they are currently trialing an injection that will only need to be given once every 6 months and then the HIV virus is undetectable in the body. It's just sad nothing like this was available 40 years ago.

[@misterrea861]

I've heard this song and dance to it several dozen times over the last 50 years, but these comments are really woke me up and reminded me of how much heart and joy Sylvester infuse into this song.

[@unfluster]

R.I.P. Sylvester! Anyone who was in the Bay Area or NYC during the mid-70's to early-80's got a taste of paradise on Earth and I'm not just talking about the sex, drugs and rock and roll. There was a feeling of love & happiness the Castro, Polk Street, The West Village (I'm sure there were other places but those were the places I frequented) unlike any time or place in the universe. I can you without exegerating, it was a magical time. I would gladly hand over these last 23 years to have just one year more year from those days. 💔

[@BananaMonstaaaa]

[@JustinLHopkins]

Hedonism always has its cost.

[@unfluster]

​@@JustinLHopkins - It wasn't entirely Hedonism. America was also having a cultural renaissance. The cost of living was low. The quality of life was high. If you want to talk about the cost of Hedonism you might want to consider the current opioid crisis which has killed more than half a million.

[@JustinLHopkins]

@@unfluster Opioid addiction is not hedonism. It’s a health crisis. Studio 54 is the definition of modern hedonism. Drugs everywhere, people fucking all over the place, and even deaths occurred. The club was literally stuffed to the ceiling in drugs and anonymous sex was rampant. I have no issue with this and if I had a time machine, I’d make 54 one of my stops. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue that this period in time was not hedonistic. Again, hedonism always carries a cost. Burning the candle at both ends never leads to anything good. I will say that the creativity flowing in NYC during the 70’s/80’s was unparalleled and we lost so many talented and creative people. We can never get that back and New York will never be the same. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You can only party for so long before something inevitably explodes.

[@UndeadGyaru]

My grandparents (who were teens in the 70s) did not approve of this song. Guess what? I stuff danced my socks off and sung this with all of my heart 💖💖💖

[@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497]

You’re grandparents we’re not typical of teens in the 70s I was a teen then and can tell you everyone I knew couldn’t care less about people being gay, most musicians seem to be that way and it’s fine, true we joked about it but nobody I knew wished diverse people any harm. Without gay artists over the years we would not have such a rich back catalogue of music to listen to 👍

[@Darrigrande]

Bravo!

[@12Jye]

In the 70s people didn't care who was gay or not, it was nothing to see straight people (guys and girls) in the gay clubs (Proof - watch Natalie Coles video for the song "Party Lights" and you'll see clips from Studio 54). People were free to be themselves no matter who they were. What happened to that era? When did things change? What caused the change? As Marvin Gaye would say "What's Going On?"

[@SluttChops]

@@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497 Actually, her grandparents were very typical of teens in the 1970s. Especially if she is an American. Only 30% of Americans in 1976 believed homosexual relations between consenting adults should be legal. Less than 10% of Americans thought being gay was something someone was born as. Hell, I grew up in the 1980s and for the vast majority of teens then, being gay was the ultimate taboo. Homophobia was absolutely rife in society. We may have come a long way, but let's not sugarcoat the past and look back with rose-tinted glasses.

[@Indiegirl007]

To say people didn't care, must be from large cities. Because down south in the bible belt, my 20 year old grandma waa going to church twice a week and wearing slips. She wasn't going out dancing or listening to Disco, that was the 'devil's music. '

It was electric one night in West Hollywood when we still had Sunday tea dances. One summer in 1981 at the Blue Parrot this artiste extraordinaire jumped up on the bar in heels and caftan and brought the bar to a crescendo of joy when we realized who it was. That one impromptu performance of this song and all the friends I was with who shall be forever young was one of the highlights of my life. Thank you for this posting.

I have full respect for Sylvester for not hiding his sexuality, during the time when it was frowned upon, with the stigma and the abuse that came with it. What a disco classic, I understand why Jimmy Somerville chose to do his cover tribute verstion of this masterpiece. Still gets people on the dancefloor.

[@garryhastings3383]

What a brave man and what a fantastic song to dance to. Yes, I did and still relive those memories of those amazing times. I soo admire those that weren't scared to come out then. I say medals for them all, and rest in peace, could you? probably not, you were soo alive.

[@jjranch4]

In my opinion, the greatest Disco song ever recorded. If it was playing in a packed disco at 1:30 AM on a Saturday night and I was on the dance floor I wouldn't want it to end. From 1:38 until 3:01 is magical, close your eyes and listen as if you were dancing without watching the video, the jam going on is perfectly understated, it could go on for an hour and you would just keep moving. Sylvester and the entire song are sublime.

[@donotneed2250]

It's on my playlist and sometimes I get strange looks from young people when I go walking. I be singing it as I walk. Actually it's more like a combined walk and dance. What gets me is some people are surprised that I still dance at 67 after I've had a heart attack and bypass surgery. When I cut my lawn or other yard work I listen to my music. My phone's playlist is over 18 hours...
