The U.S. Department of Agriculture is holding summits to promote the role of lesbian farmers as a part of its Rural Pride campaign.
The agency is working with singer and LGBT activist Cyndi Lauper for a day of conversation about the struggles of gay and transgender individuals in rural America. The agency says its wants to change the perception of what it means to be a farmer in America away from the white, rich male.
The latest summit, first reported by the College Fix, will be held on August 18 at Drake University in Iowa.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights, in collaboration with the National Center for Lesbian Rights and The True Colors Fund, will engage with LGBT rural communities across the country to host the LGBT Rural Summit Series, the USDA said. Each series will offer a unique opportunity for USDA and other federal agencies to share information relating to policies, programs, and services that exist to protect, promote and strengthen LGBT rural communities.

I’m a big fan of States Rights and their sovereignty as it was outlined in our constitution.
Unfortunately, many states are addicted to the money from the Feds and will adhere to the Fed’s insane rules and regulations in order to continue getting those funds.
Many complain about the “Unfunded Mandates” but IMO, it’s the “Funded Mandates” that are killing our Republic.
The States need to learn to “Just say NO”.
For all intents and purposes Federal Tax dollars are mostly passed through the Fed’s bureaucracy to be re-distributed to each State with “Strings” attached for their compliance.
Compliance to rules and regulations that are not set forth by Congress, but by an endless number of Government Bureaucrats that think they are doing what is best for any number of aggrieved, disadvantaged, misunderstood groups whether real or imagined.
See my post # 81.
I'm Sorry , it's just how I'm programmed. :-)
LoL.... :)
Well, do they recommend leaving the corn on the cob or having a smoothie?
Ewwww...
Patriots need to wake up low-information lawmakers of the constitutionally powerful states to the idea that most federal funding for domestic purposes that is beyond the scope of the US Mail Service (1.8.7) is unconstitutional imo.
In other words, most so-caled federal domestic funding is actually state revenues that should never have left the states.
The states need the eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the corrupt federal government, with respect to managing state revenues.
clam farms. wonderful.
didnt think they built combines large enough to hold lesbian farmers.
LOL!!!
