AL lawmakers seek to strip funding from state department after it hosted an LGBTQ+ history lecture
Fox News
After the Alabama Department of Archives and History hosted an LGBTQ history lecture, some lawmakers who didn’t find the topic appropriate are seeking to strip the department’s funding.
In response to the lecture, Republican Sen. Chris Elliott of Daphne said he is introducing legislation in next week's special session that would "claw back" a $5 million supplemental appropriation to the Department of Archives and History.
"And make no mistake about, it is to send a message to the Archives and History Department, and to other bureaucracies throughout the state, that we don't believe this is a topic appropriate for the Alabama Department of Archives and History," Elliott said.
