Talk:South Park is Gay!/Trivia/@comment-37654240-20181128181450

I believe "Out of the malls and into the streets!" is a play on the chant "Out of the bars and into the streets!" It's a gay rights mantra started in the late '70s by Harvey Milk during a protest march. Milk was urging people to join him, to leave the bars on Castro Street in San Francisco, to protest against Dade County, Florida's repeal of a civil right's ordinance that forbade descrimination based on sexual orientation.

I haven't seen Dog Day Afternoon, however, so I'm not sure if there's another reference there (as the current comment states).
