NBC is getting flamed for trying to justify and defend... which is causing more crap to come out.
The twitter comments are GOLD.

NBC News says LGBT activists chanting "we're coming for your children" is "taken out of context." Come peek at the brutal fact checks and replies.

Quote:NBC News is here to let you know that the drag marchers in New York City aren't coming for your children when they say they're coming for your children.
We reported, along with multiple other outlets, about New York City's drag march where this "coming for your children" phrase was chanted loudly and proudly.
The phrase was first made popular by the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir, which our fearless leader Adam Ford had a hand in exposing.
According to multiple Drag March regulars, the "coming for your children" variation has been used before. Last year, Gothamist reported, people at the Drag March chanted, "Ten percent is not enough: Groom! Groom! Groom!"

It is still just a troll, dude, and goes back to the 70s and Anita Bryant's Save the Children campaign. It's the same fear mongering trope used against "colored folks" even before that.
There's nothing quite as amusing as watching those being played like a fiddle by their bias confirming media, even as annoying and sad as it may be.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
