Steve King Says No Fed Funds If We Don't Agree With You

Last week, the House approved an amendment offered by Steve King striking the federal funding for a gay and lesbian center.

He says:

“The gay and lesbian center in Los Angeles is free to advocate their views, but I do not believe that taxpayers should be forced to subsidize an organization that is so radically opposed to traditional values the overwhelming majority of Americans hold dear.”

For the whole press release.
