Amendments blocking funding for drag shows, gender-affirming care dropped from NDAA
Yahoo news ^ | 12/07/23 | Brooke Migdon

A compromise version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) negotiators in the House and Senate agreed on does not include a number of controversial amendments criticized as attacks against the LGBTQ community.

House Republicans, who passed the amendments in July, agreed to drop them from the annual Defense policy bill, according to an updated draft released Thursday. The House-passed NDAA had sought to block the Defense Department (DOD) from funding drag shows and gender-affirming health care for transgender service members and dependents.

The legislation also sought to prohibit funding for the Department of Defense Education Activity — a federal school system — from being used to purchase or maintain library books with certain LGBTQ themes. The amendment, which Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) introduced, specifically targeted learning materials considered “pornographic” or that promoted “radical gender ideology.”

Of course they were.

Surrender Monkeys.

They’ll run on doing the very same things they ran on last time and abandoned after election season.

When we wonder how our nation arrived at the point we are at today, we have to give “credit” to not only the progressives, but also to the GOP that surrenders to the most demonic wing of the Democrat party on a daily basis.

It’s the conservative voter’s fault as well. We settled. Time and time again. I’ll admit I’ve voted for the “less horrible” option myself throughout the past few years. But, we are going to have to come up with a plan “C”. We can’t keep being snookered by the promises of the candidates who campaign conservatively but then stabs us in the back the first chance they get. Do we just sit at home on election day and say, “No vote from me. Let it all burn down! I’m securing by personal borders and waiting for the fire to start.”?

That’s interesting. I just read another article published 2.5 hours ago claiming that House conservatives were circulating a memo about the negotiations that ended Wednesday evening claiming all those items were still in the NDAA.

This Yahoo article was published around 6 hours ago claiming the opposite.

I wonder which is correct. I have a feeling Yahoo is the correct one.

Based on past experiences, I’m afraid the Yahoo article may be correct as well. If anyone learns something different, drop a line here on this thread with the info.

So drag shows are vital for a strong military?

“...gender-affirming health care for transgender service members and dependents.”

The feds have been looking for men to join the military, and get the generic brand, and complain about it.

“criticized as attacks against the LGBTQ community.”

I hate the language of marxists.
