Hegseth orders Navy to rename ship that was named after Harvey Milk

“ The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional.”

What a piece of shit

Jeez with so much sh*t going down at the moment, mean little bit*h Pete thinks this is a fun thing to do. Nasty drunk.

I thought they only hated trans

Good to know that's what he's spending his time on.

The Login Cabin gays must be so proud

Hey Log Cabin Republicans:

Didn't you claim this Administration wasn't coming after us?

Bullshit!

But we thought they're only going after the trans! We were supposed to be safe!

WhiskeyLeaks Hegseth said what, now?

He suggested a new name: Harvey Wallbanger

Obviously, Harvey Milk must have been a member of Tren de Aragua.

And it’s not just the USNS Harvey Milk either—the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Medgar Evers are being ‘recommended’ for renaming.

This is the most sickeningly anti-American administration ever.

Hegseth is a wife-cheating, bigoted drunk.

Yeah, he's my kind of guy!

What else do you expect from a White supremacist? Of course he's a homophobic piece of shit.

They laid it all out in Project 2025 and this is part of it.

"The not-so-hidden agenda behind Project 2025

Project 2025, a conservative policy plan driven by the Heritage Foundation, has gained attention for its far-reaching proposals aimed at reshaping America’s society. Many of these policies seek to target LGBTQ+ Americans and strip them of their civil liberties and rights. Though President Trump claimed to not know about Project 2025, many anti-LGBTQ+ ideas from Project 2025 have been implemented through Trump’s executive orders. As part of Interfaith Alliance’s work to promote Freedom not Extremism and protect LGBTQ+ freedom, it is essential to examine the influence Project 2025 has had on proposed and implemented policies and to look at its potential consequences for LGBTQ+ rights."

If you're actually surprised, you're a fucking idiot.

What a great way for the administration to shit on pride month! Fuck you gay MAGAts.

Certainly it is a very "efficient" use of government time and resources to rename something that has already gone through the process of being named.... What? DOGE BS doesn't apply when someone wants to do something just to be a cunt? Silly me.

Well, we know it ain’t gonna be renamed the Enola Gay.

It’s meant to dehumanize and demoralize, so in their sick, pathetic minds it’s worth the time and resources.

How long before gays and lesbians serving openly becomes a "security concern"?!

I'm sure there will be a new Enola Straight label installed at Udvar-Hazy soon enough, r20.

Hegseth needs to be fucked up the ass with cut glass.

I will write a strongly worded letter as soon as I can come up with eight questions.

Sometimes it's these "smaller" issues that are the most frightening.

What a fucking asshole. I think that's horrible.

[quote]Sometimes it's these "smaller" issues that are the most frightening.

I wholeheartedly agree. While the collective focus is on tariffs, the economy, Musk, Harvard, Ukraine, Gaza and the big beautiful bill, they are chipping away at the rest.

THE USS HITLER!

You can't start with camps.

[quote] However, the memo reviewed by Military.com noted that the renaming was being done so that there is "alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture," apparently referencing President Donald Trump, Hegseth and Phelan.

So fighting for gay rights, and civil rights generally, is against the "warrior culture." Got it, got all of it.

Fascist cunt.

It's bad luck to rename a ship.

Worse luck to be married to Pete Hegseth.

I can tink of worse luck

Petty, drunken bitch.

I don’t know any MAGATs but for those of you who do: what would they say if you asked them what Trump has done FOR anyone (besides Boer farmers) rather than AGAINST anything? How have their lives improved?

Just making libs cry or experience our daily angst is all so many of them want, R36. Mission accomplished.

He's doing this to light a fire. He wants to see a reaction. Trans and drag queens in the streets rioting, leather Queens yelling at senior citizens and Butch lesbians on Harleys corrupting girl scouts.

He wants a stereotypical reaction let's not fall for that work through the system block this get him and his cronies out of power.

Paul Rudnick on X

“Trump and Hegseth have ordered that a naval ship named after civil rights icon Harvey Milk be re-named. Doing this is disgusting and meant to send a message during Pride Month. Milk served in the navy but was discharged for being gay: he wasn’t a five-time draft dodger like Trump. Maybe the ship’s new name can be S.S. TACO.”

The Pentagon's budget remains so full of pork it could open up a BBQ stand but this is what they spend their time and money doing. Re-naming ships.

"The higher they climb, the harder they fall."

Keep going, Pete; roaches gotta crawl.

This decision is not only Hegseth. It's Trump, Vance, Miller, Bondi, Rubio and Russ Vought, author of Project 2025, etc.

Notably, Scott Bessant, secretary of state, and Ric Grenell, the newly, Trump-appointed head of the Kennedy Center, are both gay.

Slimy, petty, vindictive pieces of shit. The entire lot of them.

THE SS TRUMP a real warrior!

No Words.

Heg-shit is going for the fake ‘’Warrior Culture’’ and gays just won’t due…

Another part of their plan. DL is next.

Did he order this on signal?

Maybe they’ll rename it as USS Dan White.

Is anyone at all surprised by this? Pride flags are soon to be outlawed.

These are the same people who lost their shit over confederate statues and changing military base names.

Well, yes r50, and for the same reasons. This is supposed to be a white supremacist army and navy in their minds. It is also supposed to be sexist and homophobic. The only people worthy of being honored in their minds are racists, sexists, and homophobes.

But ... but .. this president loves The Village People.

Grenell and Bessent probably don't know who Milk was.

Hegseth deserves to die.

Preceded with a lubeless double fist.

poor snowflake, his masculinity must feel threatened!

New name is sorta gay: SS Bottoms Up

From Harvey Fierstein’s Instagram post.

history does not always repeat, but it rhymes. Check out The Nuremberg Laws -1935 and see the parallels. Scary AF

What an asshole.

It’s pretty Concerning that this thread is buried under discussions about Patti lupone and whether zoomers know who Laurence Olivier is. Nobody gives a shit. We’re fucked.

Are eggs still $900 a dozen?

Some of us have been warning this stuff would happen -but in its infinite wisdom Datalounge said that we were Marys who claimed the sky was falling. We got through the first term... He's only going after trans people...

WAKE UP! Trump and his Maggots declared war on us with Project 2025! If we don't fight back we will find ourselves in camps.

I wonder what number this was on the Angry Old White Man Wish List?

It's mind-boggling.

[QUOTE]I can promise you the Trump campaign has many closeted gay men, a constant in Republican circles, particularly with the most right wing element.

Only straight white Christian men will be on government affiliated places and vehicles. And if those individuals were overtly racist or confederate, then that's a plus.

Going too far on an idea gone too far.

Thurgood Marshal AND Harriet Tubman also considered for name stripping off US navy ships. How will Foxes Harris Faulkner justify this One…
