US Navy moves ship launching ceremony due to ‘harsh anti-gay laws’ in Mississippi
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/14/16 | Robert Laurie

In the Navy, you can sail the seven seas

The future USS Portland is already in the water, but it has yet to be commissioned. The ceremony to do so was scheduled to be held in Pascagoula, Mississippi at the end of May, but then the state decided to put its hatred, its bigotry, and its antiquated notions about the 1st Amendment on display. Since we’re a hyper-sensitive society that subsists on faux-outrage, we can’t tolerate any of that “religious freedom” nonsense. Super-important dignitaries refused to attend, so the Navy has determined that the christening simply had to be moved.

Having spent my formative years involved with the sea, I would be concerned that the ship will become known as an unlucky ship. There are so many superstitions surrounding a ship, that moving the christening site to a new location might bestow bad luck on the ship and the crew. Sort of like renaming a ship after it has already been named.

“I LOVE Canada Free Press. It is more conservative than many of our own so-called “conservative” publications.”

Yep. They put most of ours to shame, including most of the talking heads on the radio.

Kinda surprised there hasn’t been a Village People photo posted in the comments yet!

If they don’t want to come it should be their loss. Screw’em.

Of course I’m thinking Texas needs laws like these if they keep such folks from visiting.

So the Navy hates women and children, but supports the “rights” of rapists and pedophiles to stalk their victims?

So how many African and Middle Eastern countries does the Navy make Port Calls that suppress women’s rights?

“So we are saying the Navy, or any federal organization, cannot perform certain functions in states with religious freedom laws???”

Wow, “the South” (CSA) should’ve used this principle to its advantage. Could’ve avoided the Civil War altogether.

Maybe just by passing such bigoted laws like fag-prevention, the Federals would’ve pulled out of Ft. Sumter on their own because they didn’t want to “support meanness” by being in the same place.

Maybe it would work much better now. Maybe this is how we can get our separate new nation - the US will just pull out, being so offended.

They already did that in the early 60s. They buried a whole lot of radioactive waste outside of Hattiesburg. They did it because of segregation.

He was governor of Mississippi when I was a teenager. He had some nicknames that rhymed with his name. I have had a picture in my head of him dressed in drag. It’s so vivid that there must be a real photo of such that I have seen in the last 30 years. Maybe he wants to be able to use the women’s restroom when there are little girls inside.

It is approaching time to ship anyone on the Executive Schedule since January 21, 2009 to Leavenworth. Add to that anyone currently O-7 and above.

Ship them to Leavenworth? It’s past time to open fire with a Phalanx CIWS. I am not in a position to do so or would fire the thing myself. Or give the keys to V. Putin.
