Bob Unruh spent a March 2 WorldNetDaily article getting you to believe that a ship in New Zealand sank because the captain is not a heterosexual:
Who would have thought that leaving a $100 million navy ship on autopilot, steaming directly toward a dangerous reef, would be a problem.
Now we all know. And Yvonne Gray, a “diversity hire” for the New Zealand Navy, is facing charges, along with two of her officers.
The Noticer in New Zealand explained that Gray and the two others have been charged with negligence and will face court martial.
[…]A report at Not the Bee explained a “most viral” story was when Gray, “the lesbian captain of a New Zealand military ship,” allowed her to run aground and sink.
It was the HMNZS Manawanui that was lost, after costing $100 million to build and be commissioned in 2018 as a survey and dive vessel.
Gray had joined the New Zealand Navy after a career in the British Navy and moving to New Zealand after a vacation there with her lesbian partner.
Said Not the Bee, “The fact that she’s a lesbian wouldn’t have mattered as much if the woke officials at the New Zealand Defense Force hadn’t run a glowing article praising her for being a woman and a lesbian in an attempt to show how inclusive they are. Such practices have made the wider public wonder if people are being put in charge of warships because they are competent and qualified, or because they check a certain box!”
[…]The report said, “Commander Gray, who moved to New Zealand with her ‘wife’ in 2012, was lauded in a June 2023 New Zealand Department of Defence press release celebrating her and three other female commanders, in which one gushed about a culture change in the navy due to a ‘focus on diversity, equity and respect for personnel.'”
Unruh doesn’t actually prove there’s a link between the ship sinking and the captain failing to be a heterosexual, but he’s sure as hell trying desperately to infer it.
