Congressman questions funding for making maps more inclusive

During a recent congressional hearing, Rep. Brian Mast questioned a State Department official regarding grants aimed at making maps more inclusive.
Sarah Rogers, the official in question, discussed efforts to 'queer the map' in relation to specific countries but struggled to elaborate on the actual concept.
Mast labeled the funding as 'embarrassing,' emphasizing that Congress should focus on significant issues like national security.
