GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

Everything being said about prohibitions on personal glorification and political campaigns is correct, but also note that 31 USC 1301 prohibits spending any appropriated funds for any purpose not specified in the appropriation. Doing so therefore violates the Anti-Deficiency Act and is a crime.
