The United States Navy’s official Twitter account temporarily changed its main photo to a rainbow-colored graphic Thursday to celebrate the start of Pride Month.
The account later took the photo of the aircraft with rainbow colors down and changed it to a view of a ship deck from a control tower.
However the Navy received major scrutiny while the photo was up.
“Why are recruiting numbers so bad???” one user tweeted, along with a screenshot of the Navy account’s graphic.
From Breitbart:
The Navy on Friday afternoon also tweeted a statement from Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro recognizing Pride Month and celebrating Harvey Milk, the first openly-gay candidate to be elected to public office in California. Milk served as a lieutenant junior grade in the Navy. In 2016, Obama Navy Secretary Ray Mabus would name a ship after Milk.
