Navy Christens First Ship for Homosexual
As announced last year, the US Navy recently christened a research vessel for late astronaut Sally Ride.
The Navy [christened] the Auxiliary General Oceanographic Research (AGOR) R/V Sally Ride (AGOR 28) Saturday, Aug. 9, during a ceremony held at the Port of Anacortes Transit Shed in Anacortes, Washington.
There had previously been a push to name a vessel for Harvey Milk, which was opposed even by some homosexuals. Ride at least had credentials to justify the honor.

I am surprised and disappointed that you chose to denigrate this great American and astronaut that lost her life serving her country. I doubt the Navy feels this way. I have to wonder how you feel about other Military men and women that lost their lives serving their country that may also have been homosexual…I can only hope, as a christian, you feel pretty bad about this JD.

It is somewhat unusual to refer to a death caused by cancer as losing one’s life “serving her country.” Perhaps you have her confused with someone else.
If you re-read the text, you’ll note you’re seeing denigration where none exists. There are only statements of fact in the article.
