Harvey Milk is erased by Trump

The US Navy has a fleet of ships named in honour of civil rights leaders.

One of them is the USNS Harvey Milk, named after a gay rights leader and one of the first openly gay elected officials in San Francisco who was assassinated in the 1970s.

Now, as part of Trump's purge of "diversity, equality and inclusion", the Navy has been ordered by Trump's mob to re-name the ship.

Have you ever heard anything so spiteful?

“Spiteful” doesn’t do justice to that offensive decision. However, Americans have the leader they voted for and all we can do is watch, wait for it all to go wrong and wring our hands in despair from this side of the Atlantic.

He is standing up for America and putting America First.

Well done Trump, it's about time the UK had a leader with a backbone and not a leftist wimp.

And he fully supports and backs all the Oil Rigs in the Gulf of America

Trump's mob has also erased references to the Boeing SuperFortress aircraft that dropped the first nuclear bomb on Japan in 1945 - a huge moment in the technological and military history of the USA.

The aircraft was named after the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets.

Her name was Enola Gay Tibbets.

The reference to "gay" fell foul of Trump's purge of "diversity, equality and inclusion", so references in tributes and memorials to Enola Gay have been erased.

Spiteful AND dumb.

"

Whilst changing a name is petty, the original naming of this vessel is a bit unusual… since the US Code of 1862 states…

“The vessels of the Navy shall be named by the Secretary of the Navy under direction of the President according to the following rule: Vessels of the first class shall be named after the States of the Union, those of the second class after the rivers, those of the third class after the principal cities and towns and those of the fourth class as the President may direct.”

The latter (President discretion) has typically been to use names of past Presidents, Admirals, Defence chiefs, etc. Also included are names of individuals in the forces awarded the highest medals for bravery etc (e.g. USS Doris Miller (CVN-81), named for the first black American to be awarded the Navy Cross, for his actions during the Attack on Pearl Harbor).

Thus, in a historical context, it was unusual to use an activists name in the first place.

Nonetheless, I do agree, by changing the name, Trump is making a point.

The planned renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk is an alarming, disappointing, and retrograde move that undermines progress towards diversity and inclusion.

Harvey Milk's legacy as a trailblazing gay rights leader and elected official is both politically and socially significant and should be honoured; removing his name from the ship diminishes the importance of his contributions.

This decision prioritises traditional values over recognising the achievements of diverse individuals who have shaped American history, and it's likely to inflame further social unrest in the US.

These comments are damaging, alarming, and divisive, undermining the significance of Pride Month.

The flippant tone and childish mocking emojis belittle the struggles and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community.

It's clear that the person responsible has his own issues to address and seriously lacks empathy and understanding.

For many, Pride Month is vital for community, reflection, and advocacy. The real apathy lies in the comment itself.

Many people do genuinely care about Pride Month, and their voices drive progress and understanding.

If you feel this way about the people who came before us as being different and stood up to be counted as different and had the courage to be out , non heterosexual and proud and paved the way for us to enjoy our freedom why do you post on a gay website, just for the attention I guess, your disrespectful attitude towards ordinary people who stood up against the bullies and suffered violence and even death to be different just displays your own lack of respect and immaturity. Show respect for the history and legacy of the Pride that is a symbol and celebration of their sacrifices. Very poor show and you should have a look in the mirror.

“ They” will all be pretending to have periods next and wanting a day off for that”?

“They”? Who are “they”?

Real gay men who may celebrate Pride month because they are unashamed of their sexuality and preferences do not pretend to have periods.

I may not march through the street draped in rainbow flags, but I respect those who do and recognise their right to express their support for the struggle for recognition of gay rights.

I agree with the sentiment of the original post, spiteful and retrograde and alarmingly ignorant. I'm amazed (should I be?) how these threads turn vitriolic so quickly.

Wow, there are some opinions out there and from a TVTS on this topic is a little cockeyed I would suggest. At least we can be thankful that we can offer our opinions in this country I suppose. The way MagAmerica is heading you won't have a voice as a TV or any label other than Evangelical Redneck.

I read large companies like Gap, Target, Macys etc are not advertising or supporting Pride so openly as they did due to the right wing conservatism now gaining a hold.

The evident hostility to gay people and aspects of gay culture is as disappointing as it is surprising on a website for gay people, to put it mildly.

I don't march in pride parades or anything like that, but I certainly take my hat off to those who do, it's important to stand up and be proud of what you are

Some people are quick to slag it off saying it's rediculous, however I remember growing up in Glasgow being black and getting called all sorts when just walking down the street minding my own business

To treat people who are different inhumanely or maje horrible comments about them, is savage and nasty, if that's what you're like then wtf are you doing on this site, or are you just a cowardly troll

Not even a majority of those who voted chose the spiteful, lying conman Dumbold tRump! There was nothing at all historic or huge about the margin of his win: he won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by 231,000 votes so, if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states (0.7% of the total) had switched their votes to Harris, she would have won the electoral college and the presidency!

Dumbold tRump, the 49.9% president, doesn’t represent the popular will! He did not win a majority of the vote. Barack Obama did in both 2008 and 2016. Joe Biden did in 2020. The convicted criminal's margin of victory was smaller than that of every winning president since 1888 other than two: John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Richard M. Nixon in 1968.

They are also proposing renaming The USNS Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

They have an urgent need to address the recruitment crisis in all branches of the military. Turns out that masculine men with the potential for protective aggression don't really see feminist and gay icons as appealing, who'd have thunk it!

The woke-washing of the military had the same effect on their recruiting targets as with brands like Gillette and Budweiser.

I think you will find that crap pay per risk, and a growing realisation that killing children on orders of a president upto his ucksters in graft and corruption, really isn't honourable macho,or even in the nations interest - has far more to do with low recruitment than naming ships after civic hero's.

I don’t think he achieved much to merit a public honour like that.

The US obviously thinks serving as a Supreme Court judge is something worthy of an honour.

I had no idea their Navy was full of snowflakes, however.

It’s possible to put America first without being spiteful. And backing more oil burning and extraction isn’t good for the planet. There’s no such place as the Gulf of America.

Ships and military bases aren’t named to please the ‘masculine men’ of the military, but at the whim of their leaders at the time. People in power who are so petty that they can’t accept the choices of their predecessors (unless they were overtly ‘offensive’) probably shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath.

Pride month 🤣😂🤣

Pathetic

Nobody cares about pride month

They will all be pretending to have periods next and wanting a day off for that"

I think you're on the wrong site. You should be on GB News or perhaps watching Andrew Tate or sat under a bridge.

If you feel this way about the people who came before us as being different and stood up to be counted as different and had the courage to be out , non heterosexual and proud and paved the way for us to enjoy our freedom why do you post on a gay website, just for the attention I guess, your disrespectful attitude towards ordinary people who stood up against the bullies and suffered violence and even death to be different just displays your own lack of respect and immaturity. Show respect for the history and legacy of the Pride that is a symbol and celebration of their sacrifices. Very poor show and you should have a look in the mirror.

"The US Navy has a fleet of ships named in honour of civil rights leaders.

One of them is the USNS Harvey Milk, named after a gay rights leader and one of the first openly gay elected officials in San Francisco who was assassinated in the 1970s.

Now, as part of Trump's purge of "diversity, equality and inclusion", the Navy has been ordered by Trump's mob to re-name the ship.

Have you ever heard anything so spiteful?

Whys it spiteful?

The majority of Americans voted for Trump and Trump's actions and decisions are being felt World wide.

He is standing up for America and putting America First.

Well done Trump, it's about time the UK had a leader with a backbone and not a leftist wimp.

And he fully supports and backs all the Oil Rigs in the Gulf of America "

"Another of those just stop oil looneys

"

Climate change looney? Should we include the oil and gas offshore UK in this group? For the last 20 + years the design of offshore platforms gas allowed for rising sea levels, the rising sea temperature, the increased storm severity.

I suspect these comments are not driven by a desire to educate and inform the debate but an effective means to gain attention.

There is some irony… in removing the name to ‘silence’ the issue, Trump has re-energised the subject and promoted Harvey Milk’s name and story to millions who had probably never heard of him.

This is what happens when you purge society of "diversity, equality and inclusion", which also happens to be a manifesto pledge of Trump's mini-me. Herr Farage.

Straight white men feeling threatened, and punching down on those who do not fit their stereotype.

The self-proclaimed champions of "free speech" are anything but - Trump's mob has issued a list of 350 words that must be purged from the federal lexicon. "Gay" is one of them.

"Under Donald Trump, the United States National Park Service has erased any mention of transgender people from their history of the Stonewall Uprising. The "T" in "LGBTQ+" has been removed, as has the word "queer." Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, both transgender activists, were on the front lines of this watershed event for LGBTQ+ rights in America. This deletion is a deliberate attempt to marginalize transgender people and deny them their rightful place in this story. Transgender people have always been a central part of the LGBTQ+ movement, and we cannot allow them to be written out of history."

The tRump regime's prejudice and intolerance, of course, is not confined to one section of society: it's directed at the majority of the US/world population that doesn't share their peculiarly twisted and (previously) moribund ideas.
