Answer: We, the tax-payers, do.

After the end of what some consider to be “pride month” in June, Republicans in Congress are now calling for accountability over how much the American taxpayers are paying for pro-LGBT initiatives across the country.
Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas) sent a letter to the Department of Defense (DOD) demanding that the department provide a report on every instance of taxpayer funding for “pride month activities” with a deadline of July 15th.
“It has come to our attention that the Department of Defense (DoD) will once again divert American families’ tax dollars away from advancing its mission to ‘deter war and ensure our nation’s security’ to the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) events during the month of June 2023,” Roy wrote in his letter. “Expending vital resources on this type of political maneuvering, most apparent during the month of June, is inconsistent with the national security interests of the United States and is an inexcusable use of taxpayer dollars.”
