Public dollars pay for Idaho gay pride events – Idaho Freedom

This weekend, satanists, drag queens, and anti-gun advocates will assist the North Idaho Pleasure Alliance have a good time homosexual delight — and public {dollars} may even assist pay for it by way of cash appropriated by state lawmakers. 

The North Idaho Pleasure Alliance’s Pleasure within the Park boasts numerous sponsorships, together with the ACLU of Idaho, the Satanic Temple of Idaho, and the anti-gun group, Everytown for Gun Security. 

However the occasion, which options the same old complement of drag queens that has turn out to be a standard theme for these sorts of affairs, additionally attracts assist from Idaho’s treasury within the type of cash from the state tobacco settlement account often called the Millennium Fund. The Millennium Fund helps pay for applications resembling Undertaking Filter, an anti-smoking marketing campaign of the Idaho Division of Well being and Welfare that additionally occurs to be a sponsor of Saturday’s occasion. 

Public information present the Division of Well being and Welfare contributed $1,500 to the North Idaho Pleasure Alliance on April 18 by way of the Millennium Fund.

It’s not the primary time that state authorities businesses have put up funds in assist of homosexual delight programming within the state. Information present that the Division of Well being and Welfare has been a gentle and frequent supporter for the final couple of years. The company pitched in $3,000 in 2021. This can be a drop within the bucket in comparison with what the Division of Well being and Welfare and different Idaho businesses have carried out within the title of homosexual delight. In actual fact, since 2017 the state and public well being districts have put near $117,000 into Boise homosexual delight applications. 

The Idaho Freedom Basis has lengthy sounded the alarm about the best way wherein public {dollars} are getting used to advertise the leftist agenda. We’ve seen it on school campuses and in our Okay-12 public colleges. We’ve additionally seen it in our public libraries. (As a facet be aware, the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, a metropolis authorities company, can also be listed as an occasion sponsor for North Idaho Pleasure within the Park. Moreover, the Idaho State Police is co-sponsoring the occasion, however there are not any information of this company expending cash on the occasion). 

It is also value noting that this isn’t the primary time the North Idaho Pleasure Alliance has turned up on our radar. From our earlier analysis, we noticed that the North Idaho Pleasure Alliance targets college students at colleges to arrange LGBTQ+ golf equipment and supply assets on transgenderism and gender identification to minors. Many of those golf equipment have been shaped in Idaho colleges, together with the Gender and Sexuality Alliance at Lake Metropolis and Put up Falls excessive colleges.

That is simply the most recent instance of misallocation of public cash. It’s one factor to look at company America cater to the homosexual agenda. It’s one other factor when it’s our cash, as residents of Idaho, that’s behind it. It makes all of us involuntary supporters of this occasion.

When lawmakers vote to fund a price range, they should begin asking the place the cash is absolutely going. They’re a part of the issue in the event that they vote for it understanding that the cash is getting used to assist this type of debauchery. The general public wants to carry politicians accountable for voting to fund these sorts of applications. 

It’s time for lawmakers and Gov. Little to cease supplying leftists with public cash to hold out their efforts.
