A $350,000 NEH grant, for instance, was for “interactive gay travel guides to better understand historical LGBTQ+ spaces.” Another grant to the tune of $247,000 was set to “digitize stories of transgender adults in the Pacific Northwest.”
A $60,000 grant was allotted to “research how LGBTQ+ cartoonists innovated comics in the 1980s & 1990s,” and $75,000 was to “examine the relationship between internet live streaming and LGBTQ+ communities.”
Not all grants were LGBTQ centered, however. One grant, coming in at $150,000, was for “excavation of Egypt’s first industrial-scale brewery.” And another $350,000 grant was for creating “a Spanish version of http://Homosauras.org (https://en.homosaurus.org).”
“NEH grants will be merit-based and awarded to non-DEI, pro-America causes,” DOGE affirmed.
