“There’s a new battle plan for bringing the battleship Iowa to San Francisco,” the Chronicle reports.
The battleship’s supporters now hope to gain the support of city leaders by turning part of the vessel into a museum about the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military.
The Board of Supervisors rejected the ship in July, and two supervisors explained their “no” votes by saying they objected to the military’s policies toward gays and lesbians, while others opposed the war in Iraq.

They’re gonna use my tax dollars to paint the old gray lady PINK and dedicate a museum to
“fudge packers?” Sound like they’re movin’ at warp speed on the greasy slick rails to hell!
I cant believe how attached most of you are getting to a ship. the ship did not do anything, it was the people on the ship that you all should be thinking about! quit worshiping it like it was an extension of god.
As for the idea of them turning it into a museum that houses a section on the gays and lesbians, whats wrong with that? I would imagine it would be very difficult to not be able to be honest about yourself, and always having to either lie or withold information. I think they deserve a section on their history and troubles. i mean my god, how many naval museums are there? I think we can spare one section of one museum to all our gay and lesbian military personel.
I served aboard this great ship during World War 11. What a shame that this country has such low-life leadership as San Francisco. The gates to hell are wide and just waiting for for such idiots. I say, bring the USS Iowa to the MISSISSIPPI Gulf Coast. I can assure the Navy that the Iowa would find a home that would never desecrate her, but would salute her in the finest Mississippi tradition.

First of all, I’d like to salute the patriotism of the men of the armed forces that posted here. This whole gay ship is a natural extension of groups thinking that they should have the “right” to serve our country.
It started with allowing the blacks into the armed forces, then women–we know they can’t fight and they are a distraction. Now foreigners and the gays want to be able to get recognition.
God, Man and Country. Call me racist, call me homophobic, call me sexist, but folks if we want to win wars we can’t be afraid of these things. God supports us, he blesses us as proud military men. I stand with God and I am proud of my service.
I agree with the poster below regarding only allowing white men into the military, although I think we should take it one step further. We should only allow HOT, buff, lonely, open-minded, smooth skinned men into the military. Especially the NAVY. God Bless the USA. These colors do not run!
Hello Dylan. It saddens me to read such a hate filled post from an otherwise fine young man. Who taught you such hatred for your brothers and sisters? Where in the Gospels did Our Lord teach hatred? I read that he taught acceptance and tolerance for those we despise the most. I guess we only believe what we want to believe regardless of the facts. So sad.
May God grant you peace and heal your bitter troubled soul.
