The deleterious effect of the LGBTQI+ on our armed forces is so egregious, we have invited retired U.S. Navy Captain Stu Cvrk to write today’s editorial.

The mission of the US Naval Academy has remained virtually unchanged from my time there as a midshipman in the 1970s. From the USNA website, the mission is:
“To develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.”
On 17 June, the official Twitter account posted a tweet “celebrating LGBTQ pride month.”
#USNA joins the Nation in celebrating LGBTQ #PrideMonth during the month of June. This year’s theme, #ReUNITED, speaks to the challenges of the past two years to celebrate Pride Month as a community. 🌈 pic.twitter.com/70ep8DVNNI

Many alumni who adhere to the Bible, traditional Judeo-Christian values, and our oaths to God and the US Constitution were outraged by the outward celebration of perversion and depravity by our beloved alma mater. Excerpts from this article accurately express our concerns about the indoctrination that is being accelerated in our universities and public education system by radical Marxist LGBTQI+ activists across the country:
Contrary to what LGBT movement tells children, this is really about a sad, destructive, and addictive behavior that brings brokenness, disease, and psychological trauma. And sadly, young people are the most vulnerable. Because this behavior is fundamentally unnatural, the web of lies can only be maintained by a constant campaign of forced acceptance.
LGBTQI+ activists constantly promote their lifestyle as “healthy” despite ample evidence to the contrary. From the official CDC website:
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) have been rising among gay and bisexual men, with increases in syphilis being seen across the country. In 2014, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men accounted for 83% of primary and secondary syphilis cases where sex of sex partner was known in the United States. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men often get other STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea infections. HPV (Human papillomavirus), the most common STD in the United States, is also a concern for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Some types of HPV can cause genital and anal warts and some can lead to the development of anal and oral cancers. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to get anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men who are HIV-positive are even more likely than those who do not have HIV to get anal cancer.
And then there is the new scourge of monkey pox that is in the news. According to the World Health Organization as reported here, “an outbreak of the monkeypox virus in North America and Europe is primarily spreading through sex among men with about 200 confirmed and suspected cases across at least a dozen countries.”
LGBTQI+ (sic) behavior is the essence of sexual dysphoria (confusion). To condone and express “pride” in this behavior that is proscribed in the Bible itself in Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 and Romans 1:26-27 is a sin against God and Man. It is the essence of immorality as has been defined from the beginning of Western civilization.
After emailing that USNA tweet to a number of alumni, one of them responded with the following comments:
This is not what or who this country is. I think of the sailors, marines, grunts, seals, rangers, and many others who served this fine country, and the response of so many to commit suicide is so tragic and frightening … coming home to “this”!! They will define “this” differently for whatever war or operation or mission is considered. What we are seeing right now is not right. and it affects our brothers in many different ways. Obviously, despair is deeply seated, and many are experiencing just that. I think that there is much more coming which is pure evil in my view. What are we going to do?
Here is how I responded to him; the advice is perhaps useful for other university alumni whose alma maters are also under full assault by the LGBTQI+ activists and their fellow-travelers in the media and administrative state:
1. The LGBTQI+ agenda is being shoved down our throats illegally, as there is no congressional legislation that implements all this crap. The US Congress avoids the topic like the plague because the numbers aren’t there to support the agenda (most Americans loathe the depravity and disfunction). It is being done by the administrative state, and especially by the Biden regime.
2. The purpose is explicitly Marxist in its goals: to destroy the traditional family unit and along with it the American culture in general, to pit Americans against each other, to weaken the country to the point of civil war/dissolution, and to help prepare for the “great reset” envisioned by the globalists and their Marxist henchmen. In particular, the ChiComs foment this crap because it weakens their primary worry (the US military).
3. Do not be intimidated by the LGBTQI+ propaganda! To be silent is to willingly give in and acquiesce to their depravity. The First Amendment empowers us to vocally and vociferously shout our disagreement with their agenda in the public square – in every public setting, to every elected representative (federal, state, local), and to all of our friends/family/colleagues/neighbors/acquaintances/pen-pals/etc. This we must do or the Republic is lost.
4. People who support this crap need to be confronted directly. Shareholders need to sue woke corporations. Laymen need to confront woke clergy. Parents need to confront woke schools and school boards. Constituents need to confront their elected officials. Anyone/everyone who speaks out in favor of this crap needs to feel the heat from as many people as possible. Their claims cannot be allowed to stand without any pushback. It’s a much as war of ideas as it is a war of good vs. evil. Our ideas have more historical play than their woke/Marxist B.S. We also have biology and real science on our side. The case needs to be made.
5. As for me, I write articles condemning LGBTQI+ baloney whenever I have new material/news reports on which to comment/amplify. I also have condemned the US Naval Academy Athletic Association and Foundation (USNAA&F) in articles on more than one occasion, as well as the Navy and military in general. [USNAA&F is the primary alumni organization that collects tens of millions of dollars annually in support of USNA sports programs.] I am going to keep on doing that. I also network with like-minded classmates. Suggest you do the same – and also get them to redirect their donations to more worthwhile causes than the woke USNAA&F.
6. To summarize, the USNA mission would appear to now be completely perverted from its original statement. Morally has been replaced with immorally, mentally has been replaced by dysphoria (mental confusion), and physically has been watered down to the point of meaninglessness through the ideological scourge of radical feminism. Why should anyone who subscribes to traditional Judeo-Christian values donate another dime to an institution that celebrates perversion and a corruption of its very mission?
That is my gameplan to fight this evil spreading seemingly everywhere in the US these days. What are you prepared to do?

Spot on.
The same is occurring at my alma mater, West Point. The new Commander in Chief in 2025 needs to begin by firing most 4 star Generals, those who have betrayed their oaths. The fish rots from the head. There will be tremendous heat but he has to stay strong and lay down the law. Any pushback from uniformed officers, active and retired should be met with courts martial. He should ban all CRT, LGBTQ and feminist nonsense from the books and get back to war fighting training. He needs to clean house at the Pentagon. Our enemies are laughing at us while we weaken ourselves.
Easier to just assume everybody O-7 and up is deadwood unless proven otherwise, probably many of the full-birds too. It’s going to take at least a generation of sustained effort to undo the damage Obama did crapping in the officer corps talent pool… frankly, I’d say be wary of anyone who got his eagle or star after 1/20/09.
It’s painful seeing what’s happening, as one of my career wetdreams was to teach history at USMA even if only for one semester. (Admitedly, that’s on the rather BIG assumption of a path onto faculty for a mere filthy civilian…)
Agree
This rot has permeated every University in America. I has always stuck in my craw these fellow white hairs who support their alma mater which has become the center of Marxist philosophy and full support of this perverse homosexual agenda. We must stop using their term by actually spelling out L-B-G-T……blah, blah nonsense and just call what it is. HOMOSEXUALITY! They hate that word.

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And weak men create hard times.” – We are heading into some hard times, I hope we can survive as a nation.
I had a recent disagreement with two Classmates. Here is an excerpt with exactly how I stand:
From Merriam-Webster (1) and Cambridge (2):
(1) Gay – of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex.
(2) sexually attracted to people of the same sex and not to people of the opposite sex.
(1) Lesbian – a woman who is sexually or romantically attracted to other women.
(2) a woman who is sexually attracted to other women.
(1) Bisexual – characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex and of the opposite sex also : of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s own gender identity and of other gender identities.
(2) sexually attracted to both men and women.
(1) Transgender – a person whose gender identity differs from the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.
(2) used to describe someone who feels that they are not the same gender ( = sex) as the gender ( = sex) they were said to have when they were born.
(1) Queer – characterized by sexual or romantic attraction that is not limited to people of a particular gender identity or sexual orientation.
(2) not fitting traditional ideas about gender or sexuality, especially the idea that everyone is either male or female or that people should only have sexual relationships with the opposite sex.
Every one of those definitions is established in terms of inherent sex/sexual behavior. The concepts all have objective meanings rooted in one concept: Sex. None of those are an “extreme right talking points.”
Is it your position that being in a grouping that includes LGBTQ+ is not related to behavior(s) that are inherently sexual? Even if the term “H” was used for heterosexual, I would still be as strongly opposed: there is no legitimate place for official Navy activities/events that are inherently connected to sexual behavior. And frankly, I don’t see any official Navy position that “celebrates” whether a man likes sex with women or with men, or a woman likes sex with men or women, or being born a man and identifying as a woman or being born a woman and identifying as a man or any portion of the particular spectrum that includes and having sex with other people on whatever part of the spectrum they are, or that any other “non-traditional” variation(s) of sexual desires/acts (whatever that ultimately could be — because it functionally has no fixed meaning), that could be in the interest of the Mission of the Navy.
[There are dozens & dozens of NIH published studies] with regard to children and inappropriately exposing them to sexualized concepts and behavior. While you may wish to disagree on the idea of “Identity,” that isn’t what the paper (or the great preponderance of others) is talking about. I might even go so far as to use the non-scientific term, “consensus,” that clearly shows the unhealthy outcomes of overly sexualized concepts, behaviors and expectations to children. For the Navy to sponsor and invite any participation of children to sexually oriented/themed events is wrong. It even puts Navy members and employees at real risk of being connected to illegality.
Here is an example, from 2019, of an attempt to de-sexualize a Pride event, and the direct opposition/refusal to do so. In 2022, there isn’t even an attempt to make it non-sexual. It is inherently sexual. And they want the kids there.
*tell me, again, how ‘grooming’ isn’t what’s really intended?
