The National Endowment for the Humanities announced this year’s recipients of $21.1 million in federally-funded grants earlier this month.

A chunk of the agency’s taxpayer cash will go toward a study of the recent “history of French lesbian activism,” reports The Washington Free Beacon.

University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign history and women’s studies professor Tamara Chaplin will conduct the groundbreaking research into Gallic tomboy agitators. She’s calling it “Postwar French Media, and the Struggle for Gay Rights,” “a book-length study of the history of French lesbian activism since World War II.”

For the project, Chaplin will receive a summer stipend of $6,000.

  1. Sounds like we’re paying for her vacation…. but hey there is no wasteful spending in the federal budget, most of congress says so. We don’t have a 19+ trillion dollar federal debt and after all this study deserves high priority, what could be more important? Cut pay to our military and national defense but not to the homo agenda being FORCED onto America.
