Lesotho's main LGBTQ+ group says it's 'not receiving grants' after Donald Trump lies
"We are literally not receiving grants from the U.S.,"
"To my surprise, 'the country that nobody has heard of' is the country where the U.S. has a permanent mission,"
The People's Matrix, Lesotho's leading LGBTQ+ organization, rebutted Donald Trump's assertion that the U.S. is providing millions to promote LGBTQI+ rights in their country. They clarified they receive no grants from the U.S., emphasizing their lack of knowledge regarding the alleged eight million-dollar allocation. Lesotho, which decriminalized same-sex relationships in 2012, still lacks marriage equality and legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. The government's foreign affairs spokesperson remarked on the mischaracterization of Lesotho, highlighting its recognition as a sovereign state and a member of international organizations.
