The U.S. Navy has decided to remove the commander of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier from his post following news reports that he had produced and starred in videos that denigrated gays and used profane language.

Captain Owen Honors was relieved of command for his “profound lack of good judgment and professionalism,” said Admiral John C. Harvey Jr., commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia.
