Coming for your children
"We're coming for your children" is a satirical catchphrase of gay activists attempting to ridicule conceptions of grooming and gay identity. It has also been used in a pedophobic manner by conservatives since 2017, and has a history of being used within a broader cultural context.[1]
The slogan is associated with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus in particular.
In 2015, the late MAP Activist Nigel Leigh Oldfield used an alternative version "bring your children to me"[2] to stoke up anger in a small mob that had gathered outside his home.
