The article critiques the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) recent allocation of funds, particularly a $969,821 award to LGBTQI program adviser Stephen Leonelli, now labeled as 'undisclosed.' The article emphasizes various initiatives supported by USAID under Leonelli's guidance, including the addition of a third gender option in Bangladesh, gender-affirming healthcare in South Africa, and enhancing LGBTQI+ political engagement in Guatemala. The focus on such programs raises concerns about the effectiveness and priorities of taxpayer-funded USAID initiatives, which some argue distract from more significant humanitarian issues.
USAID's $50 billion annual budget includes controversial funding for LGBTQI programs, exemplified by a $1 million award to activist Stephen Leonelli for global advocacy.
The funding allocation raises questions about the appropriateness of taxpayer money being directed towards initiatives like transgender comics in Peru and LGBT advocacy in various regions.
