Tarrant County Republican Party Chairman Bo French recently sounded the alarm on the City of Fort Worth paying for a performance of an LGBTQ group on city property.

French revealed that the City of Fort Worth used taxpayer money to pay Jamie Esposito for a performance by Spectrum Ensemble, an LGBTQ musical group.

“Your tax dollars went to paying Jamie Esposito for a Pride Performance at a City event.” French posted on X.

“The [City of Fort Worth] held a ‘Pride’ event on City property … and paid a group for the event that advocates for child gender transitions and for politically supporting the most radical Democrat politicians in Texas,” French wrote.

“Spectrum is a new music ensemble that highlights talented LGBTQA+ musicians. Based in Denton, Tx, the ensemble commissions and performs new music by up-and-coming and established Queer composers,” the Spectrum Ensemble website states.

“[Spectrum] Ensemble started in 2018, and as we mentioned before, we like spotlighting highlighting queer composers mostly, and then it’s a bonus when we get queer musicians to play with us,” Esposito said at the June 25 City of Fort Worth City Council meeting.

The group performed “I Yes the Three Genders” by Alex Temple. A video of their Fort Worth performance can be seen below.

“[The ensemble] also advertise[s] that proceeds from their events – which City of Fort Worth paid for – go to LGBT organizations. You are probably already concerned by the possibility that Fort Worth could indirectly be funding organizations that transition children, but another organization on Spectrum Ensemble’s website is expressly political,” French continued.

Spectrum Ensemble has an “LGBTQ+ Resources” page that links to organizations such as the GSA Network, The Trevor Project, Trans-Cendence, and the National Center for Transgender Equality. Listed as a resource is the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, a political action committee that supports LGBTQ candidates.

“We endorse candidates for local, state and federal elective office who identify as LGBTQ+ and support full equality for the community, support efforts to safeguard privacy and reproductive freedom and demonstrate community support and a viable plan to win,” per the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund website.

The Dallas Express reached out to the City of Fort Worth and Spectrum Ensemble but did not receive a response.
