from www.onenewsnow.com – “Stimulus” funds awarded to the National Endowment for the Arts may be being used to produce pornographic material.

The NEA was allotted $80 million out of the $787-trillion stimulus bill approved earlier this year by Congress and President Obama. Alliance Defense Fund special counsel Pat Trueman shares what he found upon close examination of the NEA’s expenditures.

“The National Endowment for the Arts is using money from the stimulus bill, which was supposed to create economic activity, for the production of pornography,” he states. “They’ve specifically given grants to companies that they know produce pornography — primarily homosexual pornography.”

Among the recipients of federal stimulus money, according to a Fox News report:

• Frameline, a “gay and lesbian” film house which recently screened Thundercrack, which is described as “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women, and a gorilla.” ($50,000 grant)
• San Francisco-based CounterPULSE, a group that produces the weekly “Perverts Put Out” — a performance that invites guests to “join your fellow pervs for some explicit, twisted fun.” ($25,000 grant)
• “The Symmetry Project” — a dance piece that Fox News says “amounts to two people writhing naked on the floor, a government-funded tango in the altogether.” ($25,000 grant)

Trueman says it is an “outrage” that federal monies are being given to porn-producing organizations. “The National Endowment for the Arts has long been fought by American Family Association and other pro-family groups because year in and year out, they fund pornography and blasphemy,” he tells OneNewsNow.

And of the allegedly misspent stimulus funds? “This is an outrage,” he exclaims. “People are hurting financially, and our federal government is funding pornography?”

Trueman believes the public ought to call on members of Congress to take a closer look at the National Endowment for the Arts and pull its federal funding.
