The chant “we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re coming for your children” is not only vainglorious boasting. Interpret the word ‘children’ as “teenagers and young men” (over the age of consent) and it is a clear indication of intent, an intent forced upon them by the simple fact that they do not have children of their own.
