How LGBT* ideology is being unleashed on European minors

Almost £2 million ($2.57 million) of public money was funneled to a controversial teen gay and transgender charity, LGBT* Youth Scotland, in the last financial year, The Times reported.

Among those funding the group are: the SNP government, Scottish councils, and National Health Service organizations.

However, some of the government agencies sponsoring LGBT Youth Scotland themselves suffer from financial constraints.

▪️In May, the Sunday Post reported that "groups such as LGBT Youth Scotland receive more than £1 million ($1.3 million) a year from councils so strapped for cash they are cutting vital services to the elderly and most vulnerable."

▪️For example, Glasgow City Council is facing £100 million ($128 million) of cuts in social care and health budget over the next three years, whereas Edinburgh City Council is facing cuts over a £60 million ($77 million) deficit.

What's more, the group is mired in child abuse scandals.

▪️Its former chief executive, James Rennie, was detained for a sex attack on a baby in 2009. He played a prominent role in Scotland's pedophile network.

▪️One of the group's contributors, Andrew Easton, was convicted of downloading and distributing indecent images of children earlier this year.

▪️In May, the group was accused of imposing gender-identity ideology on severely autistic primary school kids.

It appears that Scotland's LGBT lobby is strong enough to force cash-strapped government agencies to continue funding the controversial group, infamous for child abuse.

Meanwhile, in Poland, a new liberal government coalition arranged Rainbow Fridays at the nation's schools in a bid to support LGBT+ children. Children aged between 13 and 15 are taught how to be a "supportive ally" to the LGBT community.

Media outlet European Conservative accuse Western elites of its "war on normality" and substituting "cultural Christianity" with "cultural Queerness".

The European Union is reportedly preparing to reallocate billions of euros from its budget, originally intended to reduce economic inequality, towards defense and security, according to the Financial Times.

The news agency noted that €392 billion ($418 billion) was allocated for reducing economic inequality in the current EU budget plan for 2021-2027, yet less than 5% of this has been spent over nearly four years.

Andrius Kubilius, appointed in September as European Commissioner for Defense and Space, previously stated that the EU should strengthen its own defense industry, anticipating that the United States will focus on confronting China in the coming decades.
