Wow.

Before reading the article, I'm going to predict that it's because he was under the impression that she sang "Y.M.C.A.." I say this in jest, but honestly I wouldn't doubt it if it turned out that was the reason.

Moronic one hit wonder. No one even remembers her.

I never was into Gloria Gaynor. Not even in the disco ýears. Some have called her the "queen of disco" when everyone knows that title belongs to Donna Summer.

You are absolutely correct. Donna Summer was a thousand times better than Gloria. No comparison. Donna was the Queen of Disco. 💃

Oh god, you sound like my husband 😅

Hands down the Queen! 👑

Time to change the lyrics from "I Will Survive" to "I Will Give Bribes."

What the hell is wrong with her???

Dead to me. Every time I hear that song - off it will go. She should be ashamed and no doubt MLK turning in his grave.

Dementia comes in all forms.

She ain't going to survive this. I'll never purposely listen to her song again.

Why? She just has a political opinion you don't like.

Wonder how she feels about her donations considering his recent remarks about how black children will always end up being criminals???

I just don't understand.

Lol wonder how that career & legacy decision came about?

who on earth would honor this person at the fascist center honors?

Sad. Already getting boos.

Does she have dementia?

Disappointed . Why Gloria why??? 🤬

But who will show up to honor and praise these honorees. I’m sure @barbrastreisand.bsky.social will not show up for her Hello Dolly costar Michael Crawford….

I does my head in to see members of an oppressed minority participate in or condone the oppression of other minorities. Like, what the fuck are you doing? Have you not learned anything?

I will never listen to her version of that song again. Fuck you, Gloria.

She’s not an ally like Victoria Willis very disappointing.

proving once again, it costs a lot of money to look that cheap.

Sad

I’ll never understand why some people go against their own interests. Makes no sense.

What the hell with Gloria? Guess she too hates women, history, and black people?

I'll be changing the channel every time her one hit comes on the radio.

Need to edit my Spotify. :(

Is it because no one decent or even half decent would accept it?

🤔

As in so they had to go with the highest bidder

you are right

Wow…. my jaw just about fell off. ”I Will Survive” was one of my mom’s favorite songs, we both used to go all out when it came on. Just, revolting as hell. The fuck, lady.

If she should share the stage with a serial liar, perhaps she will tell that serial liar, and the nation that the Bible states God hates liars, and that it also states that lying is an abomination.

Anyone who accepted this invitation we knew had to be a magat. Otherwise they would have declined. So I already knew she was an asshole. And I'm so sick of that song anyway.

I can hear all the LGBT DJ’s pressing delete!

I'll bet that this is tied to some evangelical preacher making her feel guilty because her song is embraced by the LGBTQ community.

Would not surprise me.

Thank GOODNESS I've never owned one of "Nazi like" Gloria Gaynor's albums. Stop playing her music and she never makes another penny.

So now you can just buy honors

I just learned that you can block an artist on Spotify.

Another one bites the dust.

Just adding another hasbeen to the roaster. I was on a shitty Talkshow on European TV 25 years ago for 100 bucks. She was also on the same show.

I think even more upsetting and confusing, is her I Am What I Am… An actual Gay-Anthem🥺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🪩

Anyone specially appointed by him has almost certainly exchanged something of value for it, most likely $$ or ring kissing

I'll never be able to listen to her "LGBTQ anthem" again without thinking of the betrayal.

Does the award really mean anything if she had to pay for it🤔

What a difference a pay makes🤣

It isn't age and experience that turns people conservative, it's fear.

Another one home from my musical repertoire. Shrugs at this point…🤷‍♀️ Meh. Plenty more to listen to 😉

Shame on her!

Jaysus and she donated to some of the skeeviest ones too

She's not surviving this one. That orange stain shows up strong regardless of your natural shade of tan.

Sadly I knew it had to be something like that. The Community WILL Survive just fine without you. I can't even say your name.

I'm disappointed as well.

And to think, the song was about surviving abuse and violence, only to support those who commit it with impunity.......

🎯

Gloria Gaynor, a Black woman out there supporting a system that disproportionately has poor outcomes for Black people--specifically Black women. To make this make sense, I'm going to need someone to explain it to me like I'm an idiot.

The world has turned on its' head and nothing makes sense any more...

It's good to know, and also sucks to know.

Wow the saying really doesn't hold in this situation, "never meet your heroes in real life", it's what the situation feels like.

Must be desperate for attention.

Well, that's a shame. Guess I'm gonna go ahead and swap out her original version of "I Will Survive" for the cover by Cake in the ol' Pride playlist.

I so love that cover 🎂

Fashion Nugget was a fun album!

Totally! And I’m partial to Comfort Eagle too 🦅

very …she’s off my playlist.

🤮

That’s quite the group. 🙃

Will never be able to wrap my head around how anyone who isn't a white male KKKristian with money, can support a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic and sadistic agenda that aims only to increase the power and money of the already powerful and rich, while making others suffer.

Alternative Headline: Another Wealthy American Shows Their True Stripes by Supporting Reactionary Politics

I saw a video on her fairly recently, and it appears her lifestyle is all about materialism.

She might survive, but only as a MAGA zombie.

So she has bought herself the honour. How Trumpian of her

There's no rearview mirror in a Cadillac.

And when you say disappointing, you mean disgusting, correct? I am sick of the nice words.

I will survive, but I don't care if anybody else does. I've got all my tainted checks, I've got... oh fuck the leopards are eating MY face!

I think she is going to learn to “survive” on less royalties!

We will survive ✌🏻

It doesn't count if you paid for it, and Trump awards it to you.

Wow ..so she supports racists.anti women guess her song meant nothing..unbelievable

Very disappointed. She appears to be long time republican supporter.

Thousands of dollars? It's upsetting how cheap these people are.

I will, of course, also happily accept Dionne Warwick.

Looks like Gloria Gaynor is getting a "reward" for her donation participation.

Plus it's incredibly disappointing that someone who for so many years I had thought supported women in general, a sister if you will, has given so much money to the WH rapist 💔 What is your country coming to? 🇺🇸😢

Very!!!!!!

Yes, clicking through to comicsands is always incredibly disappointing.

The irony is she only has two songs and one is a cover song of a broadway show about gay acceptance right? I AM WHAT I AM ? she is not deserving of this award due to lack of work

She has long been a republican supporter I’m sure like must republicans she does it without a thought or it’s her Christian duty to be republican

Gloria Gaynor dabbled in cults like Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, a searcher & seeker, landed back as born again Christian. It sounds like someone who's been chased by someone or something her whole life. www.urasch.com/gloria-gayno...

Her reputation is now shattered for the rest of her life. She’ll enjoy herself for one night, but spend the years wondering why her bookings dried up and nobody remembers her name. 😔

nazis can't fully "nazi" without kapos.

Yikes 😬

Any other one hit wonders getting honors or just the reich wing ones? When does Lee Greenwood get his?

One more thing up for sale. 'Merit' my ass.

Good luck. Gloria Gaynor records are virtually unsellable.

Every pick was big in the late '70s or early '80s, the time of peak trump. He was a joke in the '80s, but loved the attention of being a joke, and was 100 lbs lighter. He is nostalgic.

She's off my playlists now. Relegated to the nope bin with kid rock and Lee greenwood.

There are always strings.

Sad

Question is “would she survive the backlash”

Nope

#TrumpEvangelicals

Never Can Say Goodbye...? never say never!

“I will crash-dive”

It’s George Takei expressing frustration or sadness about a recent event or issue, though specifics aren’t clear. Given his platform, it likely ties to social justice, politics, or pop culture. Context from replies might clarify.

Trump sh.ts all over something else that meant something to Americans turning this award into a MAGA participation trophy. Disgrace.

I’m not surprised. She’s a “Christian”. 😒🙄 Most of her later songs are spiritual. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear she actually condemns 🏳️‍🌈.

She's a cross between ghost of Donna Summer and the corpse of Anita Bryant
