Anti-LGBTQ groups, including the school where Mike Pence's wife teaches, got millions of dollars

in federal COVID-19 assistance

According to an analysis of the payments, millions of dollars from the taxpayer-funded COVID-19 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was given to anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups.

The data released by the Small Business Association (SBA) showed that the money had been given to groups and businesses with homophobic policies or a history of anti-LQBTQ+ advocacy.

Almost $1.4m of PPP funds went to the American Family Association based in Mississippi, which uses some of its resources to combat what it refers to as the "homosexual agenda," NBC reported.

The association also called upon its followers to boycott brands and media outlets that promote "homosexuality and transgenderism" through its 'One Million Moms' initiative, NBC added.
