Quote:You’re paying quite a bit of money to fund LGBTQ initiatives in other countries. According to a recent report, the Biden administration has been quite generous with your hard-earned cash over the past three years.

The White House has given about $4.1 billion in taxpayer dollars to LGBTQ endeavors in countries like Serbia, Armenia, and several others.

During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed 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 a 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.

Federal funding under President Joe Biden has been allocated for funding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in multiple foreign countries:

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" was also 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 on Sept. 30, the government issued 454,821 grants.

Researchers obtained this data on a federal spending website by having it show records for the keyword “LGBT.” This search result brought up 1,181 grants with individual payouts of at least $1 million. These results amounted to over $3.7 billion. Additionally, the term “transgender” yields about 574 entries, totaling nearly $478 million for large grants.

While much of the spending has gone to promote LGBTQ initiatives overseas, the Biden administration is still pushing similar endeavors in the United States.

Government-directed LGBT grants to American schools included $1.4 million to Boston College to study "mechanisms of health promotion in diverse youth through gay-straight alliances." The grant funded the promotion of gay-straight alliance clubs in Massachusetts middle and high schools.

This revelation raises a series of questions. For starters, what kind of accountability process, if any, applies to the allocation and use of these taxpayer funds? Are officials in the federal government simply approving these grants based on their political affiliations?

Secondly, and most obviously, why the hell is the White House using the money it takes from hardworking Americans to fund progressive causes related to sexuality and gender identity in other countries? How do Armenia’s and Serbia’s LGBTQ issues affect everyday Americans? What benefit do we get from exploring these topics in other nations?

These are all valid and important questions. Unfortunately, it does not appear the Biden administration will have to answer them anytime soon.

First, they suck the cash out of my wallet, and then instead of putting it to good use they let some foreigners blow it! And you know what it's such a normal event these days the public here doesn't even get jerked off over it! Just another example of Bidenomics at work! Joe Biden helping U.S. hit bottom for Sodom!
