In Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s quest to nix all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content, some photos on the Pentagon’s website and online posts appear to be marked for deletion just because they include the word “gay”—regardless of what the context is.

One such case, the Associated Press reported, is a photograph of the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945. In the picture, pilot Col. Paul Tibbets Jr. poses in front of the plane, which was named after his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets.

        No need to beat around the bush: the movie’s core premise is that “eugenics good”. It’s really a shame that people (who probably haven’t watched it at all or in a long time) hold it in such high regard.
