How Project 2025 Will End LGBTQ+ Rights | Queer Money Ep. 522

Queer Money®: How Gay People Do Money

Regular listeners of Queer Money are familiar with the way Kingdom Advisors uses donor-advised funds to finance the anti-LGBTQ industrial complex.

But right-wing extremists haven’t stopped there.

Today, radical conservative influencers and organizations are working with the Heritage Foundation to design Project 2025, a blueprint that seeks to eliminate the rights of LGBTQ+ people, women and immigrants, effectively creating a church state in the US.

David Roth is a Democrat running for the US House of Representatives and the first openly gay candidate for the state of Idaho. He also happens to be an expert on Project 2025.

On this episode of Queer Money, David joins us to explain how Project 2025 will impact the country as a whole and the queer community specifically.

David discusses why it’s crucial for the LGBTQ+ community to get involved in the political process, describing what Democrats are doing to fight Project 2025—and why it’s not enough.

Listen in to understand the financial implications for our community should Project 2025 succeed and learn what we can do as individuals and collectively to maintain the rights we’ve won.
