We have yet to hear a good reason why it’s become so important to the Left (and to the Principled Conservatives™) to bring children and drag queens together. Public schools are now hosting Drag Queen Story Hour, and recently at a family-friendly drag show in Texas, Antifa militants with pride flags and AR-15s stood guard over the performance just in case any crazed right-wingers showed up to cause trouble.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin is still watching the border, but he’s reporting Wednesday that the Biden administration’s State Department has awarded a cultural center in Ecuador $20,000 to host “drag theater performances.”
NEW: @FoxNews has learned the Biden admin is funding drag performances in Ecuador, with the State Department awarding more than $20,000 to an Ecuadorian cultural center to host "drag theater performances" in the name of “diversity and inclusion”. @FoxNews https://t.co/Jcclwz8JsY

Fox News reports:
The U.S. Department of State has awarded more than $20,000 for a cultural center in Ecuador to host “drag theater performances” in the name of diversity and inclusion.
The State Department awarded a $20,600 grant on Sept. 23 to the Centro Ecuatoriano Norteamericano (CEN), a non-profit organization supported by the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador, to “promote diversity and inclusion” in the region.
The project at CEN, which started Sept. 30 and runs until Aug. 31, 2023, will include “3 workshops,” “12 drag theater performances,” and a “2-minute documentary,” according to the State Department’s grant listed on the USASpending.gov website.
Is @JoeBiden funding them here in the United States as well? Sure seems to be a lot of them lately.

Was there always just like "Hire a Drag Queen" services for events and schools? Like you just call up a firm and book them like the clown services for birthday parties? https://t.co/ci7d98ZeRw

This is the thing I think about most with all of these videos coming out from bars and schools. I don't really care about what bars do but this is just weird how this became like, a thing.

This is probably an example of what is included in bills no one sees

An agency of America? How did this get approval and why was it not stopped at inception?

Who slipped it into a bill and why?
Yikes. Good to see priorities are in check

If this is true I guess I can stop wondering why this is allowed to go on in this country in front of children. We’re below the basement, people.

These people need to be fired.

I've had enough diversity and inclusion, thanks.

I don't care about the drag show part.
What I do want to know is why the US government is giving a cultural center in Ecuador $20k?
— Andy Stevens 🇺🇸 (@mrandystevens) October 19, 2022
Unbelievable what they have time to find to spend money we don’t have on.

It’s illegal and unethical. Dig deeper and you will likely see that it’s a quid pro quo for more unethical behavior. @pnjaban

At least the government grants funding shrimp-on-a-treadmill studies went to Americans.
