The Navy is set to name a ship after the gay rights icon and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, according to a Congressional notification obtained by USNI News.

The July 14, 2016 notification, signed by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, indicated he intended to name a planned Military Sealift Command fleet oiler USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206).

Waiting for Trump to be elected and (hopefully) he stops this PC nonsense and orders a new name.

My gawd. . .naming the ship after a queer is really an act that demonstrates his total hate and disrespect for the military.

Also, how much do you want to bet the first ship’s captain will be butch lesbian.

Naming ships after active, alive, Congress members.

It may not be corrupt but that stinks to high heaven.

She was an abolitionist and female suffragist; also the mother of Alice Stone Blackwell, an early socialist.

She also insisted on keeping her maiden name after getting married, which was at age 37. She had the habit of wearing pants under her skirt.
