Iowa congressman deep-sixes fed funding for G&L center

This is why the wingers need to be tossed out of office.

PageOneQ has the scoop on this legislative bigotry of Rep. Steven King (R-Iowa) -- he slipped in an amendment to an appropriations bill (HR 5576) to strike any funding for "the construction, expansion, renovation, or building of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center."

The Concerned Women for America site is crowing about this.
Thanks to your calls in support of an amendment by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars will not be funding the homosexual agenda.
I'm sure that he would have been heartily in favor of funding a faith-based initiative.
