Conservatives were outraged as people taking part in New York City's Drag March were filmed chanting 'we're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children.'
They are not even hiding their intentions anymore now they are saying it out loud"They are mocking the f****** weirdos who think they are coming for their children. Evil predators who are coming for your children don't chant about it in public," oneNew York City's annual Pride March will take place on Sunday, commemorating the 1969 Stonewall uprising, when a police raid on a gay bar in the city triggered days of protests.
Pride flags fly at the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan's West Village on June 19, 2023 in New York City. Marchers in drag outraged conservatives with one of their chants.Many of this year's parades served as calls to action to unite against the hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have been introduced in state legislatures this year.
"We are under threat. Prides are under threat," Pride event organizers in New York, San Francisco and San Diego said in a statement. They were joined by about 50 other pride organizations nationwide. "The diverse dangers we are facing as an LGBTQ community and Pride organizers, while differing in nature and intensity, share a common trait: they seek to undermine our love, our identity, our freedom, our safety, and our lives. It's time we reaffirm the importance of Pride in our current sociopolitical climate, and call all our allies to action."
