President Joe Biden‘s State Department has sent millions of dollars in federal funds across the globe in an effort to aid LGBT migrants and refugees residing in foreign countries, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of federal spending records.

The bulk of the payments, roughly $6 million, went toward enhancing “access to rights” for “LGBTQI+ refugees and migrants” in Columbia. An additional $2 million went toward fostering “sustainable solutions” for LGBT migrants and refugees in Peru. Other federal programs for gay refugees included psychological counseling, legal services, medical support, and efforts to integrate them into their host nations.
