Bull Halsey, the fighting four-star admiral who commanded the U.S. 3rd Fleet during the Battle of Leyte Gulf and said he doesn’t trust a fighting man who doesn’t drink and smoke, turned over in his grave on Saturday.

The U.S. Navy, which used to give lavender sailors the boot, launched a replenishment oiler named for sexual deviant and statutory rapist Harvey Milk, the homosexual “political activist” shot to death in San Francisco in 1978.

Even better, the Navy permitted a “transgender woman” veteran — a mentally-ill man who masquerades as the opposite sex — to christen the ship.

Milk’s long history of sexual predation has never stopped the Left from lionizing him. His visage has appeared on a postage stamp, and President Barack Hussein Obama posthumously awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Homosexuals, it appears, are firmly in charge of the U.S. government.

It’s a “She”

The Navy secretary was pink with pride about the big day.

“This great ship honors #NavyDiver & #CivilRights activist Harvey Milk who was forced out of the service due to unfair policies,” the head of the Navy tweeted.

“Because of him, today our #LGBTQ #Sailors & #Marines serve honorably as their genuine selves.”

And “former Navy officer Paula Neira, clinical program director for the John Hopkins Center for Transgender Health, smashed a bottle of champagne on the ship’s bow before the launch Saturday into San Diego Bay,” USA Today reported.

“When the Harvey Milk sails, she will send a very strong message both domestically and around the globe to everybody that believes in freedom and justice and liberty,” Neira said. “That there is a place for you in this family.”

Why Neira called the ship a “she” without knowing its preferred pronoun we are not given to know.

Chinese Navy commanders are reportedly paralyzed with fear because the ship sends the “strong message” to homosexuals and other deviants “that there is place for you in this family.”

Milk’s Past

But neither the Navy nor Neira disclosed the full truth about Milk. But deceased homosexual journalist Randy Shilts did in his biography of the lubricious deviant, The Mayor of Castro Street.

When Obama awarded Milk the medal of freedom, Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council read the book and wrote about it for World Net Daily.

Milk’s “first sexual experiences were in the standing room section of the Metropolitan Opera [in New York], a gathering place for homosexual men,” and he “was leading an active homosexual life by the age of 14,” Shilts reported.

During his Navy service, he “would pick up hitchhiking sailors by offering them a bed to sleep in,” Sprigg wrote. Only when they got to his apartment did they learn Milk had just one bed. 

Though Milk appears to have gotten an “other than honorable discharge” because of sexual crimes, he claimed he had received dishonorable discharge because he “knew the story would make good copy,” Shilts wrote. People would feel sorry for him, and vote accordingly.

But worse than all that were the men he exploited, Spriggs observed:

The information Shilts provides about Milk’s sexual partners is revealing about the nature of male homosexual life in America. Milk’s first long-term lover, Joe, had his “introduction to gay life” when he performed sex acts upon men in a movie theatre for money — at age 9. Milk’s next lover, Craig, had been arrested after having sex with a 40-year-old man — when Craig was 14. He met Milk when he was 17 — “[I]t would be to such boyish-looking men in their late teens and early 20s that Milk would be attracted for the rest of his life,” Shilts reports. Another lover, Jack, moved in with Milk when he was 16 and Milk was 33. Jack attempted suicide several times, and once when he physically attacked Milk, “Harvey literally tied him up and threw him in a closet.’

And aside from using illegal drugs, he faked a hate crime to help his political career, just as he lied about his “dishonorable discharge.”

Milk also outed the homosexual former Marine who saved President Gerald Ford’s life in 1975. Oliver Sipple grabbed would-be assassin Sara Jane Moore’s arm after she fired a shot that missed Ford and aimed again. Sipple wanted no publicity, but Milk outed him to Herb Caen of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Appropriately, the USNS Harvey Milk is in the class of ships named for the late leftist congressman, John Lewis.

The naming and launch continues the lavender assault upon the military. One of President Biden’s first acts as president was permitting “transgenders” to serve in the military and ordering the services to pay for their “transition.”

In 2011, Obama signed a bill to lift the ban on homosexuals. He lifted the ban on “transgenders” in 2016, but President Trump reimposed it.

The Navy has not announced plans to change its official song to the Village People’s In The Navy.
