However, “Consuming Bud Light Beer” Would Have Rhymed Much Better

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.”

  1. Look, you know you’re off to a bad start when your organizer is a cartoon dog. He did hook up with Quagmire’s dad though, so I guess there is a connection.

    “It’s all just words”- That wasn’t their attitude when we called sissy things “gay”, or abnormal things “queer”, or when they redifined the word “marriage”.
