Federal grant records have revealed that the US State Department is funding random LGBTQ \u2018Pride\u2019 events in other countries.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

There is no explanation other than \u2018diplomacy\u2019.<\/p>\n

The \u201cdiplomatic\u201d grant summary<\/a> of such events states they are being funded \u201cTo support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

So apparently things such as\u00a0reading<\/a>\u00a0\u201cqueer children\u2019s literature\u201d to young kids, a \u201cpicnic for queer youth<\/a>\u201d and an LGBT-affirming\u00a0worship service<\/a>,\u00a0all in an obscure Czech city are in the national interest of the US.<\/p>\n

The US is also funding\u00a0an LGBTQ \u2018Pride\u2019 event in Bulgaria\u2019s capital Sofia\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to the records, with the State Department giving them $15,000 for the event next month.<\/p>\n

US taxpayers are also seeing their money go to Deystvie, a\u00a0pro-LGBT nongovernmental organisation<\/a>\u00a0hosting\u00a0a film festival, also in Bulgaria, \u201cto promote inclusion and acceptance of the LBGTIQ+ community,\u201d\u00a0according to\u00a0<\/a>the\u00a0federal records.<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0record\u00a0shows\u00a0<\/a>the State Department has also allocated more than $5,000 to Better Together, a \u201cLGBTIQA+ community conference\u201d in Australia.<\/p>\n

Why on Earth are American taxpayer funds being spent on this when basic infrastructure in some states is crumbling?<\/p>\n

All of this comes in the wake of the State Department issuing a worldwide caution alert concerning Pride events:<\/p>\n
