As Americans Suffer, Biden’s FEMA Focuses on LGBTQ and DEI
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is taking heavy criticism for its massive failures in response to Hurricane Helene, but it appears the agency was spending a lot of time worrying over LGBTQ issues and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies during the Biden era.
As FEMA takes wave after wave of criticism, video of some of the agency’s training sessions and policy discussions have begun filtering onto social media.
In one such video, FEMA’s Director of Education/Training of the agency’s “Pride Federal Employee Resource Group,” Reilly Hirst, is seen celebrating the agency’s efforts to have “conversations with migrant trans women.”
Hirst noted that FEMA was working to make sure “migrant trans women” would be able to “trust” the shelters that FEMA was providing for migrants. Hirst added that FEMA needed to continue making sure shelters don’t “misgender” migrant trans women and that they have access to the bathrooms and bedrooms that they want to use.

In another video of a disaster preparedness meeting, FEMA managers are seeing talking about how they should focus on “LGBTQIA people” and that the agency needs to ensure there is “disaster equity” in its efforts.

"We should focus our efforts on LGBTQIA people… they struggled before the storm"
