The band had a very macho-gay theme. I'm a little surprised the lead singer isn't gay, I assumed everyone in the band was gay. Gay clubs were also super into disco. Even if the lyrics aren't about being gay, it has lots of gay associations.

For sure. I was also surprised. They had a variety of band members/backup dancers and singers come and go, with only Victor being the one consistent member as the lead. But of the original line up, the ones that were featured in the music video for the YMCA, apparently only 2 of the 6 were openly gay, the ones dressed as the Indian and the cowboy. Apparently even the leather daddy biker with the horseshoe mustache was either straight or not open, which was the most surprising for me.
