The Bay City News Wire reports that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted against docking the USS Iowa in the city as a floating museum because of the military's dont ask-don't tell policy toward homosexuality.

The San Francisco congressional delegation secured $3 million to move the Iowa, which was present at the signing of the treaty between Japan and the Allies ending World War II, from Rhode Island to San Francisco. A study said the ship would attract some 500,000 visitors in its first year.

Supervisors voted against a resolution in support of the move, saying they did so as a statement against the war in Iraq and to protest the military's dehumanizing treatment of gays.

Just imagine the hissy fit! Eyes will be scratched out! :D
 
Who, pray tell, will protect San Francisco in event of incursion or outright attack?
 
The Bay Area Civil Kindred Defense Of Our Residences (B.A.C.K.D.O.O.R.). They have lovely creme and mauve uniforms.
 
Yeah... not the visual I wanted, that's for sure... imagining San Francisco taking it in the BACKDOOR in a fight.

Now, allow me to point out that "don't ask don't tell" was the policy put in place by Mr. Tolerance himself, the ever-so-beloved Bill Clinton.
 
But...but ...what about the Village People.

Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign of for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, fall in 'n' make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)
