Biden Administration Sends Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Ballroom Dance Program in Peru to “Uplift” Trans Youth
While Americans suffer under a disastrous Biden economy, his administration is sending tax dollars to Peru to sponsor a ballroom dancing initiative focused on “uplifting transgender and gender-diverse” young people.
The funding comes from the U.S. Department of State’s Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund (CDAF). According to their website, CDAF “provides funding for the CDAF annually, with projects eligible for up to $10,000 each. Teams of U.S. citizen exchange alumni work to utilize the skills, knowledge, and networks gained through their U.S. government exchange programs and address issues faced by communities around the world.”
Included in the list of programs funded in 2023 is “Ballroom Saves Lives: Resiliency and Wellness in Peru,” which “draws inspiration from a ballroom dancing tradition rooted in the Black and Latinx LGBTQIA community.”
