Business Title: US Gives More Than $4.1 Billion In Grants For LGBT Initiatives Worldwide BY TYLER DURDEN MONDAY, OCT 09, 2023 - 06:45 PM Authored by Jackson Elliott via The Epoch Times, During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has been flowing to LGBT initiatives in the United States and around the world, an Epoch Times investigation has revealed. From Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2023, the U.S. government issued more than 1,100 grants to fund LGBT-promoting projects around the world, according to the Epoch Times review of a federal spending website. The scope of projects varies widely. Plans to create a "safe space for LGBTQ youth and adults to seek support and resources" earned a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. government in 2022 for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, Virginia. A proposal for encouraging "diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia" also was a winning plan. To fund it, the U.S. government awarded Serbian activist group Grupa Izadji a grant of $500,000. An Armenian activist group, the Pink Human Rights Defender, received $1 million from the United States "to empower the LGBTI community" in Armenia, a tiny country next to Turkey. The federal spending website can be filtered to show entries that include specific keywords. A list of payouts filtered by using the keyword "LGBT" included 1,181 grants, 31 loans, and nine direct payments during the past three fiscal years. Overall, during the past fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the government issued 454,821 grants. Government grants provide free money for specific purposes. Federal loans can be repaid over long periods of time at low interest rates. Direct payments from the government give money to groups—they may be unrestricted, or for a specific use. Of grants connected to the keyword "LGBT," individual payouts of at least $1 million totaled more than $3.7 billion combined. Many additional smaller grants also were awarded for LGBT initiatives but were not reviewed. When the list was filtered for grants including the word "transgender," 574 were listed. In that category, grants that paid out at least $1 million totaled nearly $478 million. Seven direct payments and nine loans with the keyword "transgender" also were issued by the U.S. government. An independent researcher who asked to remain anonymous has been tracking how the federal government spends money on grants related to gender ideology. He started the work when he was laid off from his oil field job in the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic. After doing some digging, he was shocked to learn that, while he and his friends got little relief from the federal government, taxpayer dollars poured into LGBT activist causes, he said. "I just couldn't believe it," he said. "We're all getting laid off, getting exempted from all this COVID money that's getting handed out to everybody, and nobody seemed to give a [expletive]." He now works at a politically left-wing oil company, he said. And his superiors likely would object to how he now presents his findings on social media, he told The Epoch Times. "I could write for 20 years about just the money that's already been spent over the past three or four years," he said. The oil worker-turned-investigator shares his findings on X under the handle Randoland.us. The account has more than 12,000 followers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). "If you search for grants from the [U.S.] Department of Education with the word 'equity' in them, it'll blow your mind how much money is being spent just on equity-aligned initiatives," he said. He figures he's uncovered about $240 million in "grants going toward equity initiatives." Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
Money that could have been used to build a border wall.
And money that pisses off large majorities of the existing populations within the nations we are attempting to propagandize...MUD
"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
Total waste of US tax dollars !!!!

They lay in a cage until they die. PLEASE save one. None of us wants to die cold and alone... --Dennis Olson " People that say money can't buy you happiness, have never paid an adoption fee
Yep, that's what happens.
It's amazing how much is wasted. It could have been put to good use.
If I were a "Conspiracy Theorist", I would say the whole LGBT+ propaganda campaign is being implemented as a way to further alienate the U.S. from the Muslim world. If some African or Arab campaign to promote genital mutilation here in America, I expect it would stir up quite a bit of opposition. We are just giving the fundamentalist propagandizers ammo to use against our efforts to win over hearts and minds...MUD
