Funding was removed from two organizations that support LGBTQ+ issues. These groups were among nearly 180 that receive support. A state government agency made this decision at a meeting.

The agency had previously delayed a vote on grants. The groups that lost funding are a chorus and a theater company. They must now demonstrate their artistic value to receive funds.

The agency's reasoning for denying funds was changed recently. Further details about this decision are available from a newspaper that reported on the meeting and the agency's actions. The newspaper noted that the agency approved grants for most of the organizations it supports, with only two exceptions.
