House GOP’s 'discriminatory' funding change draws ire of Democrats, nonprofits

Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups are coming out against a new announcement by House Republicans targeting funding for nonprofits, panning the latest move as “discriminatory” and an attempt to limit dollars to LGBTQ organizations.

House Republicans recently announced they will limit what community projects are eligible for federal funding as part of the annual appropriations process, in a change critics say could hurt LGBTQ groups and have broader implications for other nonprofits.
