NBC News

Twitter community adds a context note to NBC News: NBC tweeted, “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 outlet linked to an article headlined "‘We’re Coming For Your Children’ chant at NYC Drag March elicits outrage, but activists say it’s taken out of context." Twitter added a Community Note warning label to the post with a header that reads: “'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.” The added context additionally includes links to a story from The Post Millenial.
