Crap, now that insipid "In the Navy" song from the Village People is stuck in my brain. MAKE IT STOP!!!!!
Another city has already welcomed the ship, and I bet they don't want the pink room museum option, thankyouverymuch.
"Supporters say a proposal to turn part of the vessel into a museum honoring the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military should help sway the Board of Supervisors' decision."
Will it be located on the poop deck?
Iowa was my dad's ship ... and I am livid.
They are mentally ill and sexually addicted. Up until the 70's homosexuality was a psychological disorder vs the lifestyle choice it is now. Makes one wonder when other mental illnesses will become acceptable to please a few sickos.
I think it has one to this already... It’s call turret two
A couple years ago, my saintly church lady mother, when hearing about gays in the military, quietly commented that her cousin (in the Navy in WWII) used to make jokes about not dropping soap in the shower...
I'm not sure I can explain more on a family webpage...
What absolute bullcrap.
I would rather see the IOWA go somewhere else.
If they do this travesty and bastardization then it was never to honor the military by bringing the IOWA it was all about findin JUST ANY tourist trap attraction.
San Francisco is poofta town and needs to just be left alone and a child free zone.
Belated ping!
The SF politicians drove every vestige of the Navy and military out of the Bay area. The Navy and military should pull EVERYTHING (left) out of that community and sit back and let them rot when the next earthquake, flood, or whatever well-deserved disaster befalls them! As for the Iowa, and any of the other "military" museums in the Bay area - they would be better off deep-sixed than bringing one dime into that worthless community.
