LGBTQ activists have defended a video of drag queens chanting 'we're coming for your children' during a Pride parade in New York City.

The video of the incident sparked widespread revulsion online - but prominent allies within the community have now said that it was taken out of context.

Brian Griffin, the original organizer of the NYC Drag March, defended the words that were chanted in the city over the weekend by crowds of people, including a topless woman.

He told NBC: 'It's all just words. It's all presented to fulfill their worst stereotypes of us.'

Griffin said he himself has chanted obscene things in the past, including 'Kill, kill, kill, we're coming to kill the mayor.'

He added: 'These are the words that they’ve used all our lives to manipulate and control us, and we can now own them and see them for the falsehoods that they are.'

According to people who have attended the marches, the 'coming for your children' chant has been used for many years.

It's used to 'regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people,' NBC reports.

An organizer for this year’s Drag March, Hucklefaery Ken, told the outlet that the change was a 'bad joke that is being used to serve the interests of parasitic, predatory political propaganda and policy.'

They don’t understand that given who said it it CAN’T be taken out of context. A sexual deviant is always and only a sexual deviant.

It was taken out of context...

After we are CUMMING for your kids, the next part is the part taken out of context: 'So we can groom them and rape them and you can't do a thing!'

It's a joke, but coincidentally they are coming for your children.

And every ruling class institution is OK with that, because they consider your children their own property.

Taken out of context like... we’re from the government and we’re here to help.
