#DontSayGay

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Don't say gay in Trump's America — even if you're just referring to the name of a plane. @AssociatedPress reports on how the Defense Department is purging diversity, equity and inclusion content from its website. So far, 26,000 images have been marked for deletion including a photo of the Enola Gay (the plane that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan) and a picture of a group of engineers, one of whom had the last name Gay.
