The recent $1.2 trillion, 1,000-page federal spending package has sparked controversy due to its inclusion of several earmarks for LGBTQ+ and abortion-related services. Among the allocations are $2 million for a clinic providing hormone therapy for children, $850K for gay senior housing, $400K for an organization offering transgender clothing to children and encouraging them to transition without parental consent, and $1.8M for late-term abortion clinics. Additionally, the package includes $146,000 for a health center offering cross-sex hormones, associated with a NYC trans activist, and funding for Garden State Equality in New Jersey, which promotes gender-affirming garments. Critics have highlighted these earmarks as examples of 'woke' spending, with some services, such as gender-affirming care for 13-year-olds, provided without parental consent. The bill also faced backlash for a 'pride' flag ban.
