Let's see if this one sticks.

Not true; stop making things up and stop spreading misinformation.

It’s absolutely true that they’re considering other names. Did no one actually read the article?

“According to a senior official familiar with a memo from John Phelan, the secretary of the Navy, they include Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, another Supreme Court justice, who became a feminist icon; Harriet Tubman, who, after being born into slavery, became an abolitionist instrumental in the Underground Railroad; Lucy Stone, a prominent abolitionist and suffragist; Medgar Evers, a civil-rights leader who was assassinated by a member of the Ku Klux Klan; Cesar Chavez, a labor leader; and Dolores Huerta, another labor leader.”

It stands out that they’re not reviewing the names of ALL of the ships — just the ones that were named for people who weren’t straight white males. I guess it’s assumed that all of the white males deserve the honors without question.

The people making these calls are very fragile little boys and need mommy to tell them that they are big and strong.

Imagine how that amplified the age-based power dynamic. Shilts also goes into how Milk had a preference for teenage boys and made a habit of picking up drug-addicted runaways.

You people are kidding yourselves that Milk wasn't a terrible predator. I guess Trump's real offense to you all is that he's a heterosexual predator, not a gay one? WTF.

I hope that you will be as vocal about removing Gaetz and Trump and the rest of the Republican real pedos from office.

It shouldn’t have even named after Milk in the first place, that’s why. He was in a relationship with a 16 year old boy! Nope.

But Trump's relationships with 14 year old girls is perfectly acceptable. Got it.

No one believes that. Sorry. Milk’s relationship is confirmed.

Oh really? “No one” believes that? You’ve polled every single person?

Plenty believe it.

What a crazy ass statement.
Milk was dead before Hegseth was even born.

Sounds like he is an actual hero unlike Milk.

And the right called the left snowflakes.

The PP’s point is true. Why the push to name military ships after civil rights leaders rather than military heroes? Glad Trump is making this change.

Do you understand the bad juju naval personnel have with renaming ships? You may as well sell it to some other country to use.
