Hiroshima being woke is not the outcome I expected, and yet here we are.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

They’ll be coming after Rosie the Riveter next.

Fully expect the word to be deleted from the American language.

I guess Trump has never, during his trips to his Scottish golf courses, engaged in Scottish country dancing. 🤔 #gaygordons

And to think ‘word search’ used to be such a fantastic tool. Now I suppose it’s the tools using the tool

I just went from 'Well that's obviously made up,' to 'Oh it's The Associated Press' in less time than it takes to say No one. Knows. Anything.
Anyway, have a photo of some women installing a B-24 engine that's probably not going to be in the Office of War Information collection much longer

It was named after the pilot’s mother, not because he was some diversity hire!!

It's got the word "gay" in it. They are just searching on key words.

Is 'Camp David' also going to be renamed 'Butch David'?

So If I get this right, you can use the pilots name, but not the name of his mum.

It's a simple curse, but quite unbreakable: "Who drops a nuke is gay." What works on school yards in the 90s surely works in geopolitics.

Whatever happened to HISoshima?

It's probably malicious compliance. Someone knows fine will how stupid it is but does it anyway to highlight the way the blanket rule was written.

Not that Tr*mp needs any help to look stupid.

I just hope fat men and little boys aren’t banned from America.

This admin, I wouldn't mind if they're kept as far away as possible from Fat Man, Little Boy and all their relatives.

I remember Trump asking if he could nuke offensive weather. And what the point of having nuclear weapons was if you didn't use them.
