Cara Delevingne's Pride Accessory Is a Cut Above the Rest
Cara Delevingne already wore the Pride Month outfit to beat before the sun even set on June 1. The model joined the likes of Paris Hilton, Nava Mau, and Bravo-lebrities galore at the West Hollywood Pride Parade, where she rode through the streets of WeHo perched atop a red convertible, colorful fan in hand.
Delevingne wore a perfectly futch outfit in a cropped white tank top and white beaded pearl vest (that appears to be a vintage piece sold by Amarcord Vintage in Brooklyn), which she paired with knee-length black Bermuda shorts and black Fendi Delfina biker boots. She accessorized with a smattering of jewelry, including one particularly cheeky accessory.

While she adorned herself with various rings and bracelets, the real star of the show was subtly hooked through Delevingne's belt loop on a thick gold chain: a pair of gold, rhinestone-encrusted Chanel scissors with the interlocking C motif in each of the finger rings from spring 2002. And, just if the message wasn't clear enough, she also wore a 'dyke' ring on her right pointer finger. While she wore her scissors at her hip during the parade, she placed them around her neck to receive WeHo Pride's first-ever Guardian Icon Award.
Delevingne's own queer identity was something she unpacked while filming her show Planet Sex. 'I still struggle with being open—really open—about just how much I love women,' she said in the show's first episode. But from her leading spot in the parade and her loud and proud accessories, it looks like Cara Delevingne has come a long way.

Full List of Navy Ships That Could Be Renamed By Pete Hegseth
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is looking to rename several Navy ships which honor civil rights leaders, according to documents obtained by CBS. These memos show Secretary Hegseth is changing the name of the USNS Harvey Milk at the beginning of Pride Month. The USNS Harvey Milk honors the memory of the gay rights campaigner who served in the Navy during the Korean War before being discharged for his sexuality. The USNS Harvey Milk is not the only ship that the Secretary wants to rename. He is also looking to change the names of several other ships named after civil rights campaigners and leaders. According to the memo this renaming is being done in "alignment with president" and "priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture." Chief Pentagon Spokesman, Sean Parnell, said in a statement to Newsweek: "Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief's priorities, our nation's history, and the warrior ethos."

The Trump administration is now reversing LGTBQ+ policy in the military by firing transgender troops and renaming a ship celebrating a gay leader. Critics argue that wiping the names of civil rights leaders from ships is disrespectful to them and redefines values America fights to protect. What To Know The USNS is a John Lewis-class oiler, meaning it is one of several ships named for civil rights campaigners. John Lewis was the racial justice campaigner who coined the term "good trouble."

Military Service: Thurgood Marshall did not serve in the military. However, he played a significant role in advocating for the rights of African American service members, notably providing legal counsel during the Port Chicago mutiny trial, which highlighted racial discrimination in the military.

However, she significantly impacted military policies through her legal work, notably contributing to the end of the military's policy of discharging women for becoming pregnant. It is rare for a Navy ship to be renamed as the practice is considered to be taboo within the armed forces. However, two ships were renamed in 2023 as they had ties to the Confederacy. Unlike the ships that were named after people who tried to secede from the Union, these ships are being stripped of being named after people who strived to improve the rights of others within the US. This is one of several moves from Hegseth and the Trump administration to remove mention of civil rights leaders from the military. In early April, Hegseth purged 400 books from the Naval Academy library on race relations, gender, and sexuality. The Trump administration Defense Department has also banned affinity groups such as the Black Society for Engineers and the Native American Heritage Forum at military academies. What People Are Saying Chief Pentagon Spokesman, Sean Parnell, said in a statement to Newsweek: "Any potential renaming(s) will be announced after internal reviews are complete." Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi: "Our military is the most powerful in the world—but this spiteful move does not strengthen our national security or the "warrior" ethos. Instead, it is a surrender of a fundamental American value: to honor the legacy of those who worked to build a better country. "As the rest of us are celebrating the joy of Pride Month, it is my hope that the Navy will reconsider this egregious decision and continue to recognize the extraordinary contributions of Harvey Milk, a Veteran himself, and all Americans who forged historic progress for our nation." Senator Martin Heinrich on X (formerly Twitter): "Harvey Milk served his country honorably—first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it's one of disrespect and cruelty." Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office.

Des Moines Pride experiences sponsorship pullback
Des Moines' Capital City Pride may lose up to $75,000 in corporate sponsorships this year — a sign of a broader national pullback during Pride Month, executive director Wes Mullins tells Axios. Why it matters: Some companies are scaling back on Pride Month sponsorships under pressure from political and cultural backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. Local organizers have scrambled to fill the financial void to pull off this week's flagship Pride events. State of play: Capital City Pride filled the funding gap with new grants and record-breaking individual support from its March gala, Mullins said. He declined to identify corporate sponsors that have reduced or ended sponsorship. Between the lines: Several longtime sponsors — including Nationwide and MidAmerican Energy — are absent from this year's Capital City Pride list, per an Axios comparison of 2024 and 2025 public records. What they're saying: Nationwide declined to comment. MidAmerican Energy frequently alters its sponsorships among various organizations, and although it is not a sponsor of this year's Pride, a group of its employees will walk in the parade on its behalf, said spokesperson Geoff Greenwood. The other side: Mullins said he reminds sponsors that the LGBTQ+ community — and Capital City Pride — are worth every dollar. "I make the strong case that this is a good investment and there is no reason to fear the retribution that some worry about, but instead, more people will be proud to see your support," he said. Reality check: Many factors influence sponsorship decisions, and not being listed doesn't necessarily mean that a company no longer supports the event's mission, Mullins said. Coldwell Banker, for example, tells Axios that its 2024 sponsorship was associated with a DSM agent and office that is no longer part of the company. Yes, but: While Capital City Pride and its $600,000 event budget are not struggling this year, organizers are still seeking private donors, partly because they believe corporate donations may decline further in the coming years, Mullins said. Events like meet-and-greets with Bob the Drag Queen sold out weeks in advance. Vendor spots are nearly filled to capacity, and participation in the Pride Parade remains robust, he said. Zoom in: Teen and family programming has been expanded, and cast members from "Hamilton" will perform on the main stage as part of this week's celebrations.
