Federal grant records show that the Biden-Harris administration has funded productions of plays that portray God as bisexual, harshly criticize former President Ronald Reagan and paint a favorable picture of communists — all in an effort to impose gay rights on the people of southeastern Europe.

In early September, the State Department approved funding for a North Macedonia production of Tony Kushner's 1991 play “Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia with a National Theme.” According to federal grant records, the department claimed the production would raise awareness of “LGBTQ+ issues” in the country. revealThe play unfolds along multiple storylines, including the ghost of convicted Communist spy Ethel Rosenberg antagonizing dying conservative lawyer Roy Cohn and a gay man battling AIDS who has sexually explicit visions of heaven.

According to the play's script, AIDS-infected Prior Walter begins having prophetic hallucinations in his hospital room after being abandoned by his boyfriend, Lewis Ironson. (Related: Biden Administration funds theater production to teach people in Africa about LGBTQ rights)

In one such vision, he discovered that angels have “eight vaginas” and are “also equipped with phallic bouquets” and that the universe was created by God through “coitus.”[ing] Angels, the play says, are in “perpetual” communion with androgynous beings, and angelic ejaculations “drive the engines of creation.”

Walter recounts these hallucinations to a man named Belize, a former drag queen who cares for him as a nurse.

The State Department provided $20,000 to bring the play to Macedonia, according to grant records. The production also received $10,500 in non-federal funding.

“In the Manichean world of American angels, everything Reagan stood for (including capitalism) is evil,” a critic at National Review says. Written “The film's most vocal Republican voice is Roy Cohn, the corrupt gay lawyer who denied his sexual orientation and AIDS diagnosis until his death. In Cohn, who is ultimately destroyed by his own lies and hypocrisy, Kushner finds the embodiment of the Reagan administration,” the screenplay for the 2003 HBO remake of the play quoted Kushner's screenplay.

“We don't have universal health care, we don't educate our kids, we can't pass decent gun control laws, and we elect a president like Reagan,” Kushner wrote in the play's afterword, blaming these problems on “individualism.” At one point in the play, a gay character says, ” [Reagan] Where would he be without demonizers like me?”

“Kushner strips Reagan of all his good qualities and reduces him to a fictitious anti-gay crusader,” a critic for National Review wrote about the play.

The State Department's production of an anti-Reagan, pro-LGBT play is not its first attempt at using theater for social engineering purposes: In 2023, the State Department is spending $120,000 in Chad, Africa, to “improve community-level communication on the social issues of LGBTQ rights and domestic violence through participatory theater.”

“Culture, from music to sports to theater, is an important component of American people-to-people diplomacy in Chad and around the world and supports broader U.S. foreign policy objectives,” a State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation at the time.
