Not just Harvey Milk. Several other names are on there, like Harriet fucking Tubman.

Harriet Tubman was more of a warrior than he could ever be.

Hegseth is a news anchor who literally commisioned his personal lawyer as a Navy Officer. He wouldn't know what a warrior looked like if one punched him in the face for being a christofascist fuck. He wrote a book called American Crusade and is ripping down Harvey Milk's name specifically during Pride Month, quote, "on purpose."

Remember, everyone. It was never about transgender athletes, it was never going to stop with oppressing transgender people, it was always complete and utter bigotry and fascism all the way down.

Didn't he have a make-up studio added to the Pentagon? He's a wannabe drag queen just like his boss.
