LGBTQ FILM FESTIVAL SHUT DOWN AFTER TRUMP ORDER

Desperado Film Fest in Phoenix is canceled after XX years because of Trump’s new rules killing diversity and inclusion at schools with federal cash.

Organizers say breaking the rule would risk financial aid and staff jobs.

Trump called DEI programs “discriminatory” and has axed over XXX LGBTQ-related initiatives since returning to office.

Festival leaders say they’re “heartbroken” but hope it’s just a pause.
