The YMCA has determined www.whynot.org.au as a height for immature people and their concerns. At a onset, a site will capacitate and inspire those meddlesome in contacting those in energy about a issue(s) they would like addressed. From here, a Y hopes to develop a site to turn a guide for immature people wanting to be listened by multitude for resources, opportunities to brand issues and work towards solutions. For this large feat, Boy George assimilated army to cover a uninformed chronicle of a 70s strain “YMCA.”

We had a large review about how we can be a amicable transformation for immature people. One of a resources we had was a tangible YMCA song. The preference to welcome a strain – along with queerness and matrimony equivalence – came from vocalization to immature people. It was a severe review for us as leaders – a baby boomers and Gen X. We have to let go – it wasn’t about what we thought. It was about a immature people.  Research shows an strenuous couple between matrimony equivalence and mental health – we are prepared to mount adult for that.

Australian immature people can't know because in 2017 equal rights for all people is still an issue. The YMCA does not perspective matrimony equivalence as a homosexual issue; instead, it is a matter of equal rights. The Y has always been a champion of equality, diversity, and inclusion, welcoming all people into a different operation of programs and services opposite Australia.

The debate seeks to overpass a ever-growing opening and move about change. For a new initiative, Boy George covers a uninformed and lenient chronicle of “YMCA” for a new generation.
