Here are some of the things Los Angeles deemed more important than funding the fire department.
Here are some of the things Los Angeles deemed more important than funding the fire department.
Los Angeles allocated $100,000 to the Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department for a "Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe,” according to its 2024 to 2025 budget. The funding’s purpose is to "support a safe haven for unsheltered transgender individuals in Hollywood,” the document noted.
Similarly, the Cultural Affairs Department Special Appropriations budget allocated $100,000 for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Awards.
The budget also appropriated $8,670 for the "One Institute the International Gay and Lesbian Archives.”
The ONE Archives at the University of Southern California (USC) Libraries currently has an exhibit titled "Sci-fi, Magick, Queer L.A.: Sexual Science and the Imagi-Nation,” which focuses on the occult and "the LGBTQ movement.”

The budget also allocated $13,000 for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Heritage Month Programs” and $14,010 to the "Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles.”
Los Angeles’ African American History Month, American Indian Heritage Month, Latino Heritage Month and Asian American History Month Programs were each allocated $13,000. (RELATED: LA Water And Power Officials Rake In Fat Salaries As Fire Hydrants Run Dry)
The budget also appropriated $170,000 in total for "Social Justice Art-Worker Investments.”

The LAFD was blasted for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and its 2023 to 2026 strategic plan stated that DEI was one of its "key goals.” A stated priority of the city’s first "LGBTQ” and woman fire chief, Kristin F. Crowley, is "promoting a culture that values [DEI].”
Silly me; I thought fighting fires was an essential service and the primary mission of the LAFD!

And all this at a time when the Peoples' Republic of Californistan has been inexorably going broke. That's quite a trick, don't you think?
