The United States Naval social media accounts on Instagram and Twitter have been caught quietly removing their posts and banners promoting Gay Pride Month.
The Department of Defense (DOD) and the Pentagon have made statements regarding their support for the LGTBQIA+ for the month of June, reported by The WinePress yesterday. They did, however, cancel a scheduled drag show at a Nevadan Air Force base. SEE: Pentagon Cancels Drag Show At Air Force Base After Criticism, Though Still Shows Support LGTBQIA+ Community
But it appears the Navy is already trying to jump ship. Fox News provides more details:
The U.S. Navy has taken down posts celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride month on social media, including rainbow banners that read, “Pride.”
Pride posts made on the Navy’s Instagram and Twitter accounts on Thursday, June 1, are no longer there as of Friday, June 2. The posts showed outlines of Navy vessels and aircraft with streaming rainbow trails and the word “Pride” stylized in different colors. They were removed without explanation.
A meme account on Twitter called “End Wokeness” called attention to how the Navy also took down an LGBTQ+ Pride banner on its account. Some users left comments suggesting the posts were taken down in response to backlash over military support for Pride.
When reached for comment, a U.S. Navy spokesperson said,
The U.S. Navy posted graphics in support of the start of Pride month to honor the service, commitment, and sacrifice of the LGBTQ+ Service members and personnel who volunteer to defend our country.
As we do with all Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) observance months, we will look for additional opportunities to celebrate the diversity and strength of our Sailors. Members of the LGBTQ+ community serve their country, fully contribute to the DOD mission, and deserve a welcoming environment which enables them to reach their full potential.
The Navy gave no explanation for why the posts were removed.
Emails previously reported by Fox News Digital show that last year Navy officials were hesitant to allow comments on social media posts promoting Pride month because of expected backlash.
Two Navy officials expressed disgust with negative public response to its social media posts for LGBTQ+ Pride month last year, according to emails obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request from the Functional Government Initiative. The two officials schemed on how to best post its “rainbow wingtip graphic” for LGBTQ+ Pride Month, which they complained would be flooded with “feedback from trolls and ugliness.”
One official wrote that he had a “really rough day” and was debating whether to disable comments on social media posts.
The other official responded to this suggestion on disabling posts with advice on how to promote the “righteousness of our cause” with help from “more savory members of our audience.”
The officials referred to critics of the Navy’s Pride posts as “bigots” and “a**holes.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
Proverbs 28:4
Hey Navy, maybe if you weren’t trying to shove all this crap down our throats then maybe your recruiting numbers wouldn’t be in the gutter, as are the rest of the other branches.
But clearly the Navy capitulated to the “bigots” when the heat got hot. Imagine, the Navy can’t handle a barrage of “hate” on social media but they want us to believe they can go fight our battles?!
The Navy is the largest of the military branches because they employ all kinds of people and will accept just about anyone, as a ton of their positions are non-combative; unless of course the Navy is in dire straights and needs bullet soakers.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

if sodomy has to be taught, that proves that no one is born a sodomite but rather a learned misbehavior that can be corrected.
like the blind leading the blind. that’s why they themselves can’t even give a solid definition.
