NYC Drag Marchers: “We’re Coming For Your Children”


Participants in a New York City drag march Friday were filmed chanting, “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”

The marchers gathered at Tompkins Square Park and took to the streets until descending upon Stonewall Inn.

Stonewall Inn was the site of a police raid that sparked the Stonewall Riots in 1969.

Twitter users reacted to the chants from the drag marchers:

The Protect Children's Innocence Act would prohibit "gender affirming care" on minors.

From the American Principles Project:

When children suffer from gender dysphoria, the Left insists on pushing an “affirmation only” approach, preventing anyone – parents, teachers, doctors, therapists, etc. – from doing their job and providing the child with the best standard of care. Instead of taking the time to understand the problem and identify underlying issues and other contributing mental health conditions, these ideologues masquerading as healthcare professionals push puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones, treatments that will effectively sterilize children, and “gender-affirming surgery,” which is really just a euphemism for cosmetic mutilation. Parents are told that if they offer any resistance, even simply waiting a few months to see if things improve, they are condemning their child to death – that crippling depression and even suicide will be inevitable.

This is not healthcare and must not be treated as such. The average American citizen should not be obliged to foot the bill for these unscientific, experimental, and abusive treatments on anyone – but especially not on children who cannot even attend an R-rated movie, let alone consent to a permanently scarring and irreversible decision which will determine their entire future, including whether they can have kids.

The Protect Children’s Innocence Act will charge anyone who knowingly performs “gender-affirming care” – including the administering of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones – with a class C felony. It will prohibit the federal taxpayer funding of these procedures, forbid institutions of higher education from providing instructions on such procedures, and prevent aliens who have performed such procedures from receiving a visa. If they already have a visa, they will be eligible for deportation. It is designed to protect children from abusive experimental procedures from every angle.

H.R.1399, introduced in the House of Representatives March 7, 2023, reads:

This bill places restrictions on the provision of gender affirming care. Gender affirming care includes performing surgery, administering medication, or performing other procedures for the purpose of changing the body of an individual to correspond to a sex that differs from the individual's biological sex.

Specifically, the bill makes it a felony to perform any gender affirming care on a minor and it permits a minor on whom such care is performed to bring a civil action against each individual who provided the care.

Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of federal funds for gender affirming care or for health insurance that covers such care. Such care may not be provided in a federal health care facility or by a federal employee. The bill also prohibits qualified health plans from including coverage for gender affirming care. Further, plans that include coverage for such care are not eligible for federal subsidies.

Finally, the bill prohibits institutions of higher education from offering instruction in gender affirming care. It also makes any non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who performs gender affirming care on a minor deportable and inadmissible to the United States.

The restrictions under this bill do not apply to the provision of care under certain circumstances such as when an individual does not have normal sex chromosome structure, sex steroid hormone production, or sex steroid hormone action.

Daily Caller explained how some states are taking action to protect children from being exposed to drag shows:

As concerns rise over explicit drag events marketed to and performed for children, some states are taking action to prohibit underage kids from attending these shows. In May, Montana became the first state to ban drag shows from public spaces and being performing in front of children.

“Fortunately, here in Montana, we have a governor who recognizes that drag performers shouldn’t be reading books and grooming children at locations and facilities that receive public funding,” the bill’s Republican sponsor, state Rep. Mitchel Braxton, said.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill in May which would punish businesses for hosting drag shows with children present. The “Protection Of Children” law authorized government to impose fines, suspensions or revoke the licenses of violating businesses.
