San Diego Builds Affordable Apartments for LGBT Seniors with Taxpayer $

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” -Isaiah 5:20

We’re living in an upside-down America.

In this weird America, traditional man-woman marriages are denigrated, but same-sex marriages that can’t reproduce are celebrated. Mentally-ill men who dress up in women’s clothes are coddled as “transgenders” — a biological impossibility. And cities use taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars to construct special “affordable” housing for a new politically-designated privileged group called LGBTs, aka dykes; sodomites; people who indiscriminately screw both men and women; and transvestites.

Four “affordable” housing facilities for LGBT seniors already exist in Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Philadelphia. New ones are being constructed in San Francisco and San Diego.

CBS8 reports that on July 13, 2016, work began on a $27.5 million, 76-unit apartment complex in San Diego’s North Park that will be the city’s first “gay and lesbian-friendly affordable housing facility for seniors,” expected to open in December 2017.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, senior LGBT advocate Robert Bettinger said the project will help the many older gays and lesbians who don’t have family support: “Many people are going to benefit from relief from isolation, depression and anxiety and find that moments in their last days can be full of compassion and warmth. I’m happy for the many people who will go forward in hope, safety and comfort.”

Delores Jacobs, CEO of the Community Center, said seniors form the foundation of the LGBT community: “They led us from the Stonewall riots through the most devastating years of the AIDS crisis to where we are today, yet their needs are often overlooked. These pioneers of the LGBT community deserve our respect, our support and, when necessary, our help.”

The apartment complex is a collaboration between the San Diego LGBT Community Center and Community HousingWorks:

(1) The San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center is a tax-exempt 501c3 non-profit organization — “a California non-profit corporation, organized March 8, 1974 under the Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation Law for charitable purposes.”

According to the Center’s 2015 Audited Financial Statements, in 2015, it had total assets of $7.648 million (see page 4), of which $3.093 million were grants (p. 5) “from government agencies” (p. 10) — “state and federal” (p. 12) and San Diego county and city (p. 21). Of those various government grants, federal grants account for the lion’s share — of $1.641 million (p. 21). That means the San Diego LGBT Community Center is substantially funded by taxpayers nationwide and those in California and San Diego.

(2) Community HousingWorks (CHW) is another tax-exempt non-profit organization, self-described as “a California non-profit organization that has been building and owning affordable apartments that help people and communities move up in the world for nearly 30 years. CHW is an exemplary member of the national NeighborWorks Network®, a founding member of the Housing Opportunities Collaborative, an award-winning affiliate of the National Council of La Raza, and a member of the prestigious Housing Partnership Network.”

CHW is partially funded by a number of corporations and foundations, among which are:

  • The City of San Diego Block Grant Program, the funds of which originate from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
  • NeighborWorks America, self-described as “a congressionally chartered corporation that receives a direct annual appropriation to support our work of strengthening communities and expanding opportunities for affordable housing.”
  • The corrupt United Way charity.

In other words, Community HousingWorks is also funded by taxpayers nationwide.

All of which means that taxpayers are paying for this special “affordable” apartment complex for a designated group of people — LGBT seniors. No straight people need apply. How is this not government-supported housing discrimination?
