NBC News is defending the chants of LGBT who were heard incanting the phrase “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children,” at a recent ‘pride march’. The corporate news giant suggests it is normal, and nothing new, meant simply to “take the sting out” of proven allegations of grooming against hardline LGBT activists.
NBC News even admits the song has been sung for years – as if that makes it better:
“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 article’s author, Tyler Kingkade – who studied journalism at Georgetown with support from the Koch-linked Fund for American Studies – also highlights chants such as “Kill, kill, kill, we’re coming to kill the mayor,” “God is a lesbian,” and “[t]en percent is not enough: Groom! Groom! Groom!” as examples of provocation that are acceptable to him.
The Koch network recently announced a $70M slush fund to attack Donald Trump with.
Kingkade’s claims, however, have since been subjected to a ‘Community Note’ – or fact check – on Twitter, which states: “Coming for your children” is not a historical part of Pride. The chant appears to originate from the San Francisco Gay Men’s choir singing a song with this title 2 years ago, in 2021. This article is thus a misrepresentation of Pride’s history.”
