The University of Washington will receive $349,759 for the project.
President Biden is acting like he's funding "braille" for the blind, while he targets the Hispanic community with his destructive homosexual agenda.
Public education has become the cesspool of our times.
Be informed, not misled.
The Washington Free Beacon is reporting,
President Joe Biden's National Endowment for the Humanities in January announced the $350,000 grant, which will see the University of Washington create a "Spanish-language version of the Homosaurus." The dictionary, which features a dinosaur standing under a rainbow as its logo, defines hundreds of terms and phrases "relating to bisexuality, trans, gender, and intersex concepts," according to its website.
Examples include "anal fisting," which the Homosaurus defines as the "sexual practice of inserting a fist into an anus," "jizz," which it calls the "slang term for semen; primarily used in the United States," and "Indigiqueer," a "term used to describe the identity of people who are both Indigenous and queer and view those identities as inherently related and interconnected."
The endowment's Homosaurus grant will see $350,000 go to the University of Washington, where feminist scholar Marika Cifor will oversee the Spanish translation, a project she says will take three years. Cifor told the Washington Free Beacon that the project "received strong reviews and support from the NEH at each stage thus far" and that the grant will begin in September. For Cifor, the Spanish-language Homosaurus—which she said would include as many as 1,600 terms—will help solve the "basic struggles for information accessibility that many marginalized communities still face."
The reporting on this, even by Christian news organizations, is so vulgar I won't include details here, nor will I verbalize it on the radio today.
What is President Biden thinking?
Apparently, our president believes assisting the LGBTQ+ agenda with taxpayer dollars "is" the high moral ground.
In March, President Biden claimed that it is “close to sinful” for Florida Republicans under conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis to work to prohibit the surgical and chemical “transitioning” of minors suffering gender dysphoria, and indicated support for a national law forcing every state to allow the practices.
Biden made the remarks during an interview with actor Kal Penn, who was guest-hosting The Daily Show.
"Close to sinful" not to mutilate our children who are confused, and suffering from gender dysphoria?
He said, “What’s going on in Florida, is as my mother would say, ‘close to sinful. I mean, it’s just terrible what they’re doing […] It’s not like… a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘you know, I decided that I want to become a man or I want to become a woman […] I mean, what are they thinking about here? They’re human beings, they love, they have feelings, and they have inclinations. It’s cruel.”
“And the way we do it is we make sure we pass legislation like we passed on same-sex ‘marriage,’” Biden added, invoking the Respect for Marriage Act that forces all 50 states to recognize any two-person “marriage” recognized by any other state, which he signed in December. “You mess with that, you’re breaking the law and you’re going to be held accountable.”
It is not "sinful" to prohibit the mutilation of minors.

It is not acceptable for the federal government to mandate that procedures like sex change operations be allowed for kids. https://t.co/YhPrrU5Poi
This kind of thinking is perverted.
And there's no question there will be accountability---if not by "the people" at the ballot box, certainly there will be accountability to Almighty God.
Not only is Biden's thinking an affront to Almighty God but also to true science.
Studies find that more than 80% of children experiencing gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence and that even full “reassignment” surgery often fails to resolve gender-confused individuals’ heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide — and may even exacerbate it, including by reinforcing their confusion and neglecting the actual root causes of their mental strife.
On top of those issues, experts outside the medical establishment further warn that surgically or chemically reinforcing gender confusion imposes irreversible harm on children such as infertility, impairment of adult sexual function, and reduced life expectancy, as well as the psychological toll of being “locked into” physical alterations regardless of whether they change their minds when they mature, as attested to by many individuals who “detransitioned” back to their true sex.
The response
The American Family News says, "President Biden continues to champion sexual deviancy, now granting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to reach the Hispanic community with the cause, and an advocate for truth says Americans must stop allowing the Left to gain ground."
Peter Labarbera says, "With most areas of Anglo culture conquered, the Hispanic community seems to be the new target."
"The Left has won half its battles by just redefining terms," he points out. "Sodomy … first became homosexuality, but then when it became gay, then it became just a trait."
LaBarbera laments that efforts like this fuel society's descent into a dystopian degeneracy that would have been unthinkable just five years ago.
"When you hear … biological women calling themselves pregnant men because they're gender confused, that's just social insanity," he says.
He adds, "Meanwhile, no one is allowed to freely speak out for moral sanity and/or biblical ethics."
Though he is encouraged to see the public pushing back against Bud Light's marketing partnership with a grown man who identifies as a preteen girl, what troubles LaBarbera is few seem to be taking a stand "on issues that are more important than beer."
"You can't keep giving ground," he concludes.
Takeaway
Rev. Charles Finney, the firey Presbyterian pastor, evangelist, and educator said this regarding his times in the mid-1800"s:
The Church must take right ground in regard to politics. Do not suppose that I am going to preach a political sermon, or that I wish to have you join in getting up a Christian party in politics. No, you must not believe that. But the time has come that Christians must vote for honest men, and take consistent ground in politics ... And if he will give his vote only for honest men, the country will be obliged to have upright rulers. All parties will be compelled to put up honest men as candidates.
Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently... God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground. Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as a part of their duty to God. It seems sometimes as if the foundations of the nation are becoming rotten, and Christians seem to act as if they think God does not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it, and He will bless or curse this nation, according to the course they take.
Be Informed. Be Engaged. Be Vigilant. Be Discerning. Be Bold. Be Prayerful.
