Revelers at New York City’s Pride Parade on Sunday sounded off on a controversial chant by LGBTQ+ activists — with some saying the shouts of “We’re here! We’re queer! We’re coming for your children!” could spark more anti-gay hate. The chant — yelled Friday at the annual Drag March in the East Village — was seen as a misguided joke by some parade attendees, who wondered whether it hurt the cause more than it helped. Angela Ghiozzo, a mom from Cold Spring, NY, went to the parade with her son, Matthew Pocarillo, who came out 12 years ago. She and many like her said it was not the right time or group to joke. But others were more cavalier and dismissed the chant as a harmless jab at anti-gay activists who falsely accuse those in the LGBTQ+ community of being pedophiles and child groomers. Still, neither the controversy nor the humid, rainy weather could put a damper on the NYC Pride March’s spectacle. Nearly 2 million rainbow-bedecked revelers of all ages flooded Manhattan streets, cheering as the thousands-strong procession of folks and floats marched by in the largest celebration of its kind in North America. Local politicians such as Sen. Chuck Schumer, Gov. Kathy Hochul, and Mayor Eric Adams also participated in the march. #Queer Up The USA View
