Original Note:
The video provided is somewhat misleading. The quote is correct, but it is said by satirists in the crowd of the march. The chant "We're here, we're queer, we're not going shopping" is a chant that has been rooted by the queer community for centuries. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-meaning-behind-the-chant-were-here-were-queer-were-coming-for-your-children-that-was-expressed-by-LGBTQ-participants-in-New-York-City-s-annual-Drag-March-on-June-23-2023 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/rcna91341 https://brightonmuseums.org.uk/discovery/history-stories/were-here-were-queer-were-not-going-shopping-clause-28-and-the-birth-of-the-lgbtiq-community/
