The United States Navy’s official Twitter account temporarily changed its cover photo to a rainbow-colored graphic Thursday to kick off the beginning of Pride Month, according to screenshots posted on Twitter.
The graphic featured ships and aircraft with rainbow colors streaming from them, along with the word “Pride” in different colors. The account later changed the cover photo to a view of a ship deck from a control tower. However, during the time the Pride graphic was shown, the service received some flak.
“Why are recruiting numbers so bad???” one Twitter account by the name @BowTiedRanger tweeted, along with a screenshot of the Navy account’s graphic.
