The Biden-Harris administration is facing scrutiny for allocating millions of dollars to fund a project aimed at developing an app to advise gay men on how to safely engage in drug-fueled intercourse, commonly referred to as 'chemsex.' The project, which has received a $3.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is being led by a professor from the University of Connecticut (UConn) and is specifically targeted at Malaysian gay men. This initiative has sparked controversy and criticism from various quarters, with some questioning the use of taxpayer money for such purposes.
