President Trump's Administration and Pride Month Recognition

President Trump's administration has not recognized Pride Month this year and has taken actions that are seen as hostile towards the LGBTQ community, including renaming a Navy ship named after Harvey Milk and ordering transgender service members to voluntary separate during Pride Month.

Removal of Harvey Milk's Name from Navy Ship

Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and actor Sean Penn criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for ordering the removal of slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship. They described the decision as divisive and meant to fuel culture wars.
