Billions of federal dollars go to left-wing causes because activists control federal bureaucracy— and that’s not likely to change soon, an analyst predicts.
The federal government pays for initiatives promoting transgenderism and other LGBT causes because left-wing bureaucrats have captured federal grant-giving programs, experts say. “When you dig into who staffs federal agencies, they’re absolutely dominated by people on the left side of the political spectrum,” David Ditch, senior budget policy analyst for The Heritage Foundation, told The Epoch Times.
“That has been the case for a very long time. I expect that will be the case indefinitely, regardless of who wins the next presidential election.” Mr. Ditch and others have scoured federal grant records. They’ve found patterns that point to LGBT activists entrenched in federal agencies, making decisions on which projects to fund and which organizations in the United States
and beyond will receive taxpayer money to execute their plans.
Grants awarded in the past four years include $65,000 for a “Queer Arts Festival” in San Francisco. Another grant provided $2,315 to help “professional transgender women makeup entrepreneurs” in Nepal. And, the University of Washington received $350,000 to translate an LGBT sex manual into Spanish.
