And they are expensive. The Y near where I live (not a very high pop area) costs $45 a month to join. The independent gym I go to only costs $25 a month and has better services and facilities.
I didn't learn that's what the Y's name even stood for until I was reading books about WW1 for fun right after I got out of college a few years back. They apparently put on a lot of benefits and things for the men fighting in The War
Had absolutely no idea it was even remotely related to Christians
The YMCA should never have gone co-ed to begin with. It should still be for (biological) males only.
The Young Men's Christian Association has diverged a long way from its roots.
There's nothing male about the YMCA any longer and hasn't been for decades.
All their services cater to women, children, seniors and immigrants now.

The Y's been co-opted ever since ... and before ... the song about it. It was known as a place for faggotry on the downlow.
It does not surprise me that this organization took the troon's side.
Yup.
