Two New York Democrats running in a hotly contested congressional primary pledged federal funding for “Drag Story Hour” — as records show city and state taxpayers have paid nearly $700,000 to boost the program.

Do the kids need to see drag queens or do the drag queens need to be seen by kids? The answer is obvious.

Politicians seem to forget that balancing a budget doesn’t always have to mean raising taxes. You can also balance a budget by cutting expenditures. This seems like an overdue place to start.
You can also balance a budget by cutting expenditures.
The voters don’t want that.
““Unfortunately, the Majority does not allow funding from Members of Congress to support LGBTQIA+ programming,” Goldman wrote in on a questionnaire”
Goldman was probably shedding tears as he wrote this.
