Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot.
He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights.
Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.

Self-diagnosis is valid.
Also, telling someone who landed on self-diagnosis after months, if not years of researching and learning about autism, that they're not autistic because they don't have a piece of paper saying so, is classist and ableist. Please don't do this.
