From the Washington Free Beacon: Democratic House candidate Bob Harvie (Pa.), a county commissioner in Pennsylvania, oversees a local fund that distributes millions of dollars his county received as part of a settlement with opioid manufacturers. While the money is supposed to go toward “Prevention, Treatment and Recovery” services, Harvie used some of it to transport kids as young as 14 to an “LGBTQ-youth” center that offers “medical transition” seminars.
The Bucks County, Pa., Board of Commissioners, which Harvie chairs, approved a $13,500-grant in December to Planned Parenthood Keystone for “Expanding Services and Transportation” to the Rainbow Room, a local center that caters to gay and trans youth. The grant was used to transport high school students to Rainbow Room functions, the Delaware Valley Journal reported earlier this year. Its funding came from the county’s Opioid Settlement Fund, which is due to receive $70 million from drug distributors and pharmacy chains over the next 18 years.
Rainbow Room functions include seminars like “SEX ED NIGHT / MASTURBATION,” which the center held in May 2024. A pamphlet advertising the event shows a photo of a woman’s hand massaging a watermelon designed to represent the female anatomy. In 2023, the Rainbow Room hosted a “Queer Prom,” where attendees as young as 13 were given goody bags with condoms, lubricant, and dental dams, used to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases during oral sex.
In January 2023, Meg Brock, an investigative reporter for the Daily Caller, posted a number of videos on X with shocking scenes from the “Queer Prom” event attended by teenagers.
The report explains that Harvie, who has funneled money to The RainBow Room, is the top Democratic candidate running against Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R., Pa.), in an effort to flip the seat to blue.
Harvie faced national scrutiny last year after he and a fellow Democratic Bucks County commissioner voted to defy Pennsylvania state law to count invalid mail-in ballots during a recount for the U.S. Senate race, the Free Beacon also reported.
Just last week, the Rainbow Room held an event called “translating transition.” It was advertised for “LGBTQ+ youth and friends, ages 14-21.”

Another post by the Rainbow Room announces an event on October 1 called, “Undoing Racism, Roots and Resistance,” again targeted toward young people ages 14-21. The post reads:
Join us this Wednesday for an interactive night at the Rainbow Room as we dig into the roots of racism in the United States. Using wisdom from the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond, we’ll uncover how power and oppression are woven into our history — and how we can dismantle them together.
