The Texas congressman went on to suggest that House Republicans “pull support” from this year’s National Defense Authorization Act in order to “put a stop to these kinds of divisive – and frankly embarrassing - DOD events.” “The Air Force and Defense Department sanctions this ridiculous use of taxpayer dollars and then expects members of Congress who represent Americans who are livid about this stuff to green light an $800 billion plus DOD budget.” “What’s next, rainbow uniforms during pride month?” Roy said. According to the flyer, base events will include a “‘Pride Game Night’ on June 10, a Unity in Diversity Color Run on June 16, and a panel discussion titled ‘Our History, Our time!’ on June 28th.” Chip Roy, R-Texas, obtained a flyer promoting LGBT-themed events at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.
