Lt. Col. Adam Harmon, a U.S. Army Reserve Officer who works as a diversity, equity, and inclusion specialist was fired after allegedly posting gay porn of himself in uniform, including during overseas deployment.
The gay 44-year-old West Point graduate and military intelligence officer allegedly shared workplace fantasies and X-rated content to the alt X account @franzkafka2007 and requested that other content creators collaborate with him.
According to the New York Post, Harmon, who has worked as DEI lawyer outside of the military, operated the alt account for the past six years and posted as recently as November 2024.

Specifically, the White House wants the NIH to study "regret" and rates of so-called "detransition" among children and adults who have previously transitioned.
