Congressman Matt Gaetz exposed Connecticut Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy for wanting to give $156,000 in taxpayer dollars to subsidize a controversial health organization in Hartford.
The Hartford Gay & Lesbian Health Collective (HGLHC) describes itself as “a health center and champion of LGBTQIA+ equity” that “advocates for systemic solutions to the health care access barriers and health disparities experienced by sexual and gender minority groups.”
HGLHC aims to become the premier health and wellness center for the LGBTQIA+ community in Connecticut.
It currently provides medical services, dental services, support groups, and health education tailored primarily to LGBTQIA+ communities.
HGLHC has full and part-time staff, along with more than 100 volunteers who contribute thousands of hours annually to support the group’s efforts, which include organizing community and educational events.
For instance, HGLHC held an event called “Butt Stuff: Pleasure and Safety for Anal Play” last year.
The event targeted folks “having anal sex or any kind of anal play” in order to share health and safety information, as well as how to make “butt sex” an enjoyable experience. Attendees were entered into a drawing to win a free vibrator.
