Congressman grills State Department official over ‘embarrassing’ Biden-era grants to make maps 'more gay'​

Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., questioned a State Department official last week over Biden-era grants for DEI programs around the world amid her claim that former President Joe Biden’s administration was "trying to make the maps more gay."

Sarah Rogers, the State Department’s undersecretary for public diplomacy, was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in a hearing titled: "Advancing National Security Through Public Diplomacy."

"Can you tell me what is queering the map?" asked Mast, who serves as chair of the committee.


"So I think we were trying to make the maps more gay," said Rogers, referencing Biden administration efforts.
"Literally? How do you make a map more gay? Or gay at all?" Mast replied.
"I don’t know," admitted Rogers. "Since the age of cartography, we’ve had pretty good maps, but maybe they weren’t gay enough. I also took critical theory in college, and I think sometimes people use ‘queer’ as a verb. I do understand that the maps we were trying to make gay were, I think, of Czechia and Slovakia. So maybe those countries asked for it. I doubt it, but I don’t know."

short version

You know how this works folks... Money is requested for this .... The proposal gets written up for say a million dollars. The money gets sent to the person who wrote this proposal up .. That person takes his cut and the rest gets sent to the DNC as unaccounted funds to be used as their mad money. ... Perhaps used to pay protesters , Pay lawyers to defend them... and on down the line ... Perhaps sway a senator to table a vote ... All using money unaccounted for.
