“We have now entered the month of June. And as we all know, June is the greatest month on the American calendar because it is a month of miracles and happiness and joy, specifically queer joy. Because June, of course, is Pride Month, the month when we are all supposed to pretend that the most important thing about any human being is their sexual orientation and that all of America must celebrate this together. That is what Pride Month is all about. Well, I have some Pride Month stories. It’s not going the way that many people on the left were hoping Pride Month was going to go.
“So, for example, the US military has now decided that they are going to rename a ship. There is a Navy ship that is called USS Harvey Milk. That was always an absurdity, an absurdity of absurdities. Harvey Milk was not a member of the military. Harvey Milk had no impact on military policy. Harvey Milk was a San Francisco Board of Supervisors member in the 1970s who was shot to death after 11 months on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and became a sort of martyr for the so-called gay rights cause.
“The idea that we were naming a Navy ship after a man who was only famous for being a San Francisco gay rights activist who was killed in 1978 by a fellow member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was mad that he had been fired and that he wasn’t getting his full salary? That’s ridiculous. Like, if you’re going to name Navy ships, typically, you are going to name them after naval heroes.
“You’re typically going to name them after people who had an impact on military policy. You’re gonna name them after places. The US Navy ship RuPaul should not be a thing. And it was always ridiculous to to suggest that we’re going to name our Navy ships after sort of DEI heroes in American life.
“And yet that is what Barack Obama was all about. It was deliberately silly by the Obama administration, and now that’s being walked back by the Trump administration during Pride month of all times.” – Ben Shapiro.
