The Biden administration launched a new $2.5 million international fund to promote acceptance of homosexuality and transgenderism and label opponents of the LGBT agenda as “anti-democratic.”
The U.S. State Department announced a new fund to promote LGBT advocacy internationally by linking LGBTQI+ issues with democracy. The fund objectives include increasing the participation of individuals who identify as LGBTQI+ in politics and public life, creating political narratives that promote LGBTQI+ issues, and engaging supportive political, business, and religious leaders.
According to the description of the programs under the new fund, programs funded by the new initiative must work to label opposition to the LGBTQI+ agenda as “anti-democratic” and characterize their opponents’ messaging as “disinformation.”
The fund, called Global LGBTQI+ Inclusive Democracy and Empowerment Fund, or GLIDE Fund, was announced last month and is administered by the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
Robert Destro, the head of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor during the Trump administration told the Friday Fax that “DRL proudly funds the social and political activism of LGBTQI+ organizations worldwide. What outcomes the United States and its Global Equality Fund partners actually achieve with these funds is a question worth asking.”
Programs funded by the GLIDE initiative must fulfill three requirements.
First, the organizations that receive grants must be “emergent, small, and/or medium-sized LGBTQI+ organizations.” Second, the programs funded by the GLIDE initiative must be tailored to “queer women, transgender and intersex persons, and other persons from marginalized LGBTQI+ communities”, including youth. Finally, the programs must also establish “communication strategies” for advancing the LGBT agenda that “address and counter anti-democratic trends and disinformation in democratic processes.”
Under these terms, opponents of homosexual marriage and giving transgender rights to children should be labeled as anti-democratic and their opposition to the LGBTQI+ agenda must be fought against as “disinformation.”
The GLIDE fund is part of the Global Equality Fund according to the information on the State Department website. The fund is administered by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor alongside over $20 million annually for global LGBTQI+ advocacy through multiple funds….
The above comes from a Jan. 6 story on C-Fam.
We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Diabolical. Biden’s day of judgement is coming very, very quickly.
The American LGBT Empire is evil.
How Mr. Biden continues to widely promote the slaughter of innocents and immoral sexual behavior and has the audacity to approach for Holy Communion, and is given the precious Body and Blood of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ; appalls me. This is an example of the ideological colonialism denounced by Pope Francis, among others. For the sake of Mr. Biden’s soul and a watching world, I pray that his pastor, bishop and cardinal address him and his grave, public sin. May Mr. Biden find the love, forgiveness and truth of Christ, offered to all of us.
Lord, have mercy on us all.
