Are you gay enough?

California is beginning to not seem like a real place anymore, as around $633,000,000 in government contracts will be granted specifically to LGBT businesses.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

California regulators are encouraging utility companies to steer hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to” LGBT-certified businesses.”

The efforts are part of a state diversity program that bases procurement decisions in part on the sexual orientation or gender identity of business owners.

According to a report by Christopher Rufo at the City Journal, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has established procurement targets calling for major utilities to direct 1.5 percent of spending to businesses certified as LGBT-owned.

Based on 2024 utility spending, that target would amount to roughly $633 million in contracts.

The program is part of California’s Supplier Diversity Program, which originally focused on women- and minority-owned businesses before being expanded by Democratic lawmakers and governors to include LGBT-owned firms.

Former Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation in 2014 requiring the CPUC to recognize LGBT-owned businesses, while Governor Gavin Newsom later broadened the initiative across the energy sector.

Accepted forms of evidence can include letters from LGBT organizations, media reports identifying an owner as LGBT, or statements from personal contacts.

Utilities are required to track diversity spending, submit annual reports, and explain any failure to meet procurement targets.

One business owner told City Journal that diversity certifications helped his company secure work with San Diego Gas & Electric.

“If I was a straight, white male, I might be concerned I don’t have the same opportunity,” he told the publication. “It worked out great for me.”

How far would you go to secure the government big bucks?

With Gavin Newsom on the short list of Democrats expected to take a shot at running for president, this should be alarming to the entire country.

What happens in California rarely stays in California. If someone like Newsom was to become president, this insanity would surely be spread to the entire nation.
