The Senate Appropriations Committee recently released a spending bill, which included a controversial $1M earmark for renovating an LGBTQ Center in Pennsylvania, known for hosting BDSM and sex fetish parties. This allocation sparked significant backlash, leading to a unanimous Senate vote to remove the earmark from the omnibus bill. Senator Mike Lee, a vocal opponent of the earmark, introduced an amendment to prevent federal funding of such activities, emphasizing the issue as part of the broader debate over the Schumer minibus spending bill. The bill, criticized for its inclusion of various earmarks, including funds for BDSM parties, shark repellent studies, and housing for starving artists, is part of a $460 billion package aimed at preventing a government shutdown. Senator Lee and other critics have urged a vote against the Schumer minibus, advocating instead for a Continuing Resolution (CR) that would save $130 billion and secure the U.S. border through HR2.

Senate Dems changed the minibus only “after it was discovered that they had set aside $1 million for what they characterized as funding for BDSM sex parties.” @SenMikeLee on the unwillingness of Senate leaders to cut funding from a 1,000+ page spending package. https://t.co/HOX4SOLD0b
BREAKING: The Senate voted unanimously to remove the earmark from the Omnibus which would’ve provided funding to an LGBTQ center which hosts BDSM s*x parties. https://t.co/fr938BTEIk https://t.co/d1CCHslcdw
If you vote for the #SchumerMinibus, you’re part of the problem. The good news: you can decide to stop this madness—today. Instead of funding BDSM sex parties with U.S. taxpayer dollars—literally—and then feigning surprise when caught, vote NO and swear off earmarks forever!
There’s a $1,000,000 earmark in the omnibus bill for an LGBTQ center where people have bdsm sex parties. After @libsoftiktok & I exposed it, the earmarks’ sponsor wants to remove it from the bill. There’s just one problem, it’s stuck in the bill we are voting on this week!🤦♂️ https://t.co/R28hWWjXbk
One can’t vote for the #SchumerMinibus without voting for taxpayer-funded sex parties. Literally. This is what happens with earmarks. We could still stop it. We could pass a CR saving $130B w/ HR2 to secure the border. Secure the border. Or shut it down. https://t.co/cjdMFBwisU
The Schumer minibus has taxpayer-funded sex parties. Yes, really. I’m introducing an amendment to stop any federal funding of this nonsense. https://t.co/Zl6PLxXGQy
No taxpayer-funded sex parties. Yes, that’s another problem with the #SchumerMinibus. And yes, I have an amendment to fix that. https://t.co/439oPvxP2u

Republicans don’t let Republicans vote for the Schumer minibus. Secure the border. Or shut it down.
