You would think that a song titled "Celebration" would be a cause for good times, but for local gays, it is a cause for consternation. Factions are split between the "It's Madonna, so you like it" camps and those not falling into lockstep. Part of the problem is it's initial release by Paul "popular in the previous century" Oakenfold, who put a trance-dub feel to it, harkening back to the days of massive clubs and glowsticks. Further releases (like that of Benny Benassi below) have done nothing to assuage the feeling of "I've heard it all before".
From Facebook statuses to beaches in Provincetown and Fire Island the topic is up for debate and emotions are running high. At the end of the day though, there is self-reflection, and the decision is upon the individual listener. No suicides have been reported as yet.
