GOP lawmaker demands list of Pride Month events sponsored by military
Fox News
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding a list of Pride Month events sponsored by the military this June.
"Our military is in a historic recruiting crisis. Our enemies around the world are laughing at us while growing stronger and bolder every single day. The military's purpose is to defend America and her interests against those around the world who want to destroy us — not to use taxpayer money to advance woke ideology," Roy told Fox News Digital.

Roy's letter points to a May 3 memo from Air Force DEI officials that approved observance of Pride and empowered installation commanders to "plan and conduct appropriate activities in honor of Pride Month." He asserts the use of taxpayer dollars to host such activities diverts funds from the military's mission to "deter war and ensure our nation's security."
