The Drag March in Manhattan's East Village featured topless women and plenty of drag performers chanting "We're coming for your children." A clip from Timcast of the event, the chanting, and the festivities went viral on social media, infuriating many who value childhood innocence. In response, NBC defended the chant, saying that it was just for fun, and is a way for LGBTQIA+ people to "own" the slurs that have been leveled against them.
"We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children," they sang to each other.
NBC asserted that the drag marchers were saying "We're here, we're queer, we're not going shopping," and that it's only "one voice that is louder than the crowd" who said, "We're coming for your children." They quote the drag march organizer, Brian Griffin, who said that they chanted obscene things to basically own the slurs.
"It’s all just words," Griffin said, per NBC. "It’s all presented to fulfill their worst stereotypes of us."
NBC attested that "The 'coming for your children' chant has been used for years at Pride events, according to longtime march attendees and gay rights activists, who said it’s one of many provocative expressions used to regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people."
The undercurrent of the article from NBC was that it was just silly for any conservatives or even parents to be at all concerned about drag marchers parading about half naked chanting "we're coming for your children."
They quote a drag performer who said "It's really scary to us," and said they tried to sing an alternate lyric to drown out the groomer talk.
This is part of an ongoing cycle where the leftists do something crazy and bizarre, the right calls it out, the left says it isn't even happening, and then pivot and claim that not only is it happening, it's good to have it happen.
Tim Pool found the NBC story, and its accompanying tweet, just absurd. "The “coming for your children” chant has been used for years at Pride events, according to longtime march attendees and gay rights activists, who said it’s one of many provocative expressions used to regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people," NBC said with no irony at all.
"Guys," Libs of TikTok said, "it’s totally fine that they chanted 'we’re coming for your children' because they do it every year and they also chant about sex toys and pubic hair and killing people 'It’s all just words' say the people who force preferred pronouns on us and constantly change our language."
"NBC chimes in with a *FACT CHECK*" Charlie Kirk said, "letting us know that Pride marchers have been saying they're 'coming for your children' for years as a deliberately 'provocative expression.' I guess that makes it all okay! Thanks for the confirmation, NBC."
"What?" Alx said simply.
"These are the words that they’ve used all our lives to manipulate and control us," NBC quoted Griffin in conclusion, "and we can now own them and see them for the falsehoods that they are." The drag march was one of dozens of raunchy Pride parades and events througout the US and Canada.
The response from conservatives has been, essentially, when someone tells you who they are: listen.

Gotta love how the commies in the “Media” twist like a pretzel defending their perverted lil group..yeah “Coming for your children” totally normal, heck we hear it all the time/sarc
That’s not much of a defense, but I guess it’s all they can come up with.
And I thought the homosexuals were supposed to be smarter than normal people. Hmm.
If “it’s ‘been used for years at Pride events’” why didn’t the so-called “news” media report the threat?
If someone tells you who he is, you might have to believe him.
For years they have been threatening our children and they are carrying out those threats with the public schools. But because they have been doing it for years it is supposed to be no big deal. It won’t be long before they are coming to your door and demanding your children and it is a Civil Right and if we oppose then the State will take our children and grant them to the queers for equity’s sake.
So apparently it would be perfectly fine then for normal people to march down the street chanting, “We’re going to string up the trannies?” I’m just trying to make sure I understand how this new rule works.
First I’ve heard....don’t know anything about it....
(an old boss of mine used this a lot)...lol
So was “Zeig Heil”
Slavery is totally fine because Muslims have been doing it since the beginning of muslimism.
Words aren’t just words when they’re a call to action. How is “we’re coming after your children” not a call to action?
How about we have an event where we chant “we’re here, we’ve gear, we’re coming after the queer!”. How would that go down?
Oh really, then why haven't they ever reported it before?
They have an option - the millstone or the worse one.
I didn’t hear them say “It was just silly words” when they twisted J6 actions as threats against Pence.
Such a great argument. NBC just needs to repeat that until all Americans believe it.
People have been killing people forever, therefore, there’s nothing wrong with that and we should allow it.
People have had wars since the beginning of the human race, therefore, we should allow and have more of them.
Logic fails with the insane left.
Don’t worry about it, we’ve been grooming for years. That’s their excuse?
Around my kids (if I ever have any) they’d be leaving with busted knees.
That’s a start. You need to be diverse, inclusive and practice equity tho. Here’s on for drag queens, “Drag fags get fag drags.”
