TMZ Calls Hegseth's Pride Month Ship Name Change 'Homophobic'

Pete Hegseth's decision to remove Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship during Pride Month has sparked outrage. TMZ's Harvey Levin calls the move "homophobic" and suggests it reflects a broader anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment. Levin, in an exclusive interview, shared his own experience hiding his sexuality while serving in the military, highlighting the contrast between Hegseth's actions and Harvey Milk's legacy of fighting for equality. "This isn't DEI, it's about equality," Levin stated, emphasizing the discriminatory nature of the decision. The timing of the name removal during Pride Month further fuels the controversy. The incident underscores the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, even within the military.
