The scheme of the Minister of Defense to rename the Navy ship, which honors the human rights activist LGBTQ+ is an icon that most hopes for an American experiment.
Defense Minister Pete Hegset chose the moon pride as time to order this Ship of the US Navy Harvey milkHonoring the excellent heritage of the Navy veteran, which has become a innovative supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, will be renamed. The terms are insulted, just as the decision is unjustified. And yet hegets cannot change the story created by milk. And the rough force of the Minister of Defense will not reduce the promise of US progress that the propaganda of milk accepted and had so skillfully advanced.
This fundamental truth was outlined in 2016 when the ship was Named for milkThe Navy who joined the Military Fleet during the Korea war and addressed the submarine rescue ship before being forced to retire from his sexuality, while the secretary of the Obama administration, Ray Mabus, greeted milk as an internationally recognized supporter of “justice, equality and freedom.”
Remembering the murder of Milak 1978, which took place when he held the position of one of the first open -hey -elected officials in the US history, said Mabus Electoral activism Mila and his open propaganda on LGBTK+ “offered hopes of millions of Americans who were rejected and held accountable only for whom they loved.” The name of the Military -Market Milk Fleet was another reminder, said the Navy secretary that: “Even after his death, his voice was still talked about, his struggle continued, and his business (there was) countless others.”
This is the concept of apparently Documents received by CBS NewsHas a “recommended list” for the renaming of ships of the Military Fleet, which includes civil rights champions, pioneer feminists and activists. “Among them are USNS Thurgood Marshall, USS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Medgar Evers,” – reported in the network.
Choosing the renaming of the milk ship during the PRIDE moon, which has been celebrated by LGBTQ+ community for decades, is a kind of brazen slap in the face, which is appreciated by the Trump administration. But the Pentagon decided to be assembled in this step, even when the sources of defense told reporters that it was intentionally. Pentagon’s representative only talk“Secretary HEGSET seeks to make sure the names attached to all DOD attitudes and assets priorities The history of our country and the ethos of the warrior ”(the emphasis is added).
The “priorities” of the current administration have never been agreed with the vision of the American experiment as a constant struggle for the expansion of democracy and freedom, which – in its best – was subjected to the Lincolian faith that “the government, the people, for people, will not die from the earth.”
Current Issue
But this is the belief that Harvey Mila hugged, and it is proved that you can do real.
Milk was a militant believer in a small democracy, which preached the policy of liberation and radical inclusion, which required the place of members of each deprived and rejected community in the corridors of power, not referring to tolerance and recognition, but to campaign as city leaders, mayors.
Working with the prerequisite that it was possible to transfer “democracy on the streets” in the 1960s to the local elective policy of the 1970s, Mila claimed that the search for public positions is a way of “making a statement”. Doing it, he explained, “You say,” I’m here, pay attention to me. “But he didn’t want to stop there. He wanted to win to form politics and secure”green light“For others who would do the same.
That determination to fight in a coalition with all who was outside, made a broader vision of the movement policy that would see that milk joined announce“No compromise is required to give people their rights … No money is required to respect a person. No political transaction is required to give people freedom. No poll is required to remove repression.”
Harvey Millar’s life and service have been often honored for decades, as the head of San Francisco was killed (together with the then mayor of Francis George Mascon) conservative local politicians on November 27, 1978. Milk was a positable recipient of the Freedom President’s medal, having received recognition for how “he” connects discrimination, which deals with viewers’ courage and judicial. “His smiling face appeared on the American postage stamp. He was the subject of the most sold book and the film awarded by the Academy.
These numerous forms of recognition would be confiscated by a dairy activist who saw each March, every campaign, every failure and every victory as a training moment. Even if in the 1970s he won local and state political fighting, milk realized that these training moments should continue. He continued to push the envelope by responding to threats to his life declaration“If the bullet should enter my brain, let this bullet destroy every door closet in the country.”

If he was undoubtedly today, he saw how hegsette’s madness as an opportunity to open new discussions, as well as to create big and bold coalitions to combat attacks on freedom, social progress and democracy.
What is vital for those who respect the theory of milk about the educational moments is an understanding of the importance not only to push away from the administration, but also to update and update the free and liberation vision of milk policy.
Milk saw his election campaigns and his possible service at the San Francisco Council as a vehicle to inspire hope and activity in the LGBTQ+community. However, he refused to narrow down the appeal to more open and humane America. He was a coalition builder who wanted the members of each community who have faced hostility and discrimination together. As the late representative of John Lewis (D-GA) interpret When a post stamp was issued in 2014, “Harvey Mila and the men and women who watched him fought for the destruction of barriers based on race, gender, class and sexual orientation.”
This is a broader vision of a multinational, multi -ethnic, inclusive and expansive policy that expected that Rev. Jesse Jackson, a rainbow coalition, must be updated and expanded at a time when the progress made on the streets of the 1960s, and in the 1970s. This is all the politics he talked about when he interpret Almost 50 years ago, “I never considered myself a candidate. I always considered myself part of the movement.”
This movement lives on. This will survive Pete Hegset and Donald Trump. He will turn the page about the reaction and repression, and he will restore the full promise of the American democracy that Harvey Mills gave him his heart, soul and life for promotion.
