The U.S. Navy held a ceremony on Saturday christening and launching a ship in San Diego that commemorates LGBT activist and icon Harvey Milk.
"The secretary of the Navy needed to be here today not just to amend the wrongs of the past but to give inspiration to all of our LGBTQ community leaders who served in the Navy, in uniform today and in the civilian workforce as well too and to tell them that we're committed to them in the future," Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said during the ceremony.
Milk, who served as a diving officer in the Navy during the Korean War, had been forced to leave the military branch because he was gay. He later became the first openly gay politician in California to be elected after he joined the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in the late 1970s.
A year after he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, he was killed by his colleague Dan White.
Then-Navy Secretary Ray Mabus in 2016 made a decision that Milk and five other human rights and civil rights icons would have their names used for six oil tankers that were built, according to The Associated Press.
Honoring the late human rights activist, the Navy commemorated a John Lewis-class replenishment oil tanker as USNS Harvey Milk on Saturday.

Not sure about the optics of naming a lube ship after a gay guy but whatever.

The funny thing is, you think that's the first Navy ship (or military base) named after someone gay.

Milk seems to have been a supporter of the communist Rev. Jim Jones.....and the People's Temple....

The Dingy USS Pedophile.......

China is laughing their ass off at our crumbling nation.

The really sad part is that when we get our ass kicked the next time...there will be no 'rebuilding, and coming back stronger."

It will simply be, over.

Wave those fag flags hard...you won't get to for long.

I guess Klinger went into the wrong branch of the military. He should have gone into the Navy, rather than the Army.
