June is upon us, and that means it’s time to be bombarded with cringe-worthy corporate messages and products for Pride Month.
On Wednesday, the Marines’ Twitter account got in on the action in a tweet writing, “Throughout June, the USMC takes in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members.”
“We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect,” it added.
The tweet included a graphic of a helmet with rainbow-colored bullets.
However, it did not go over well — and not just with conservatives either.
Even liberals took to Twitter to lambast the tweet.
