Just days after 1,200 Israeli citizens were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, Beevers sent a memo to all California Military Department servicemembers and employees. The subject of the memo dated Oct. 18, 2023, was “Embracing California Values Amidst the Israeli-Hamas Conflict.”

Rather than any condemnation whatsoever of the terrorist attack on innocent Israeli citizens, Beevers said, “we do not take political positions” on the topic. He further called it “an immensely complex and sensitive issue” and said, “Our strength lies in our ability to foster an environment where all voices are heard, respected, and valued.”

Rather than denouncing the brutal murder of innocent civilians, including women and children, Beevers said the CMD was “guided by principles of inclusivity, diversity, and respect for all individuals, regardless of beliefs, race, or creed.”

Beevers is also known for pushing an LGBT agenda and even had a flag on his office wall that said, “Gay as F*ck.” He also led a ceremony at the guard’s Sacramento headquarters where Beevers and other generals signed a pledge to be an LGBT ally. They further promised to educate themselves and others about “oppression, discrimination, heterosexism, biphobia, transphobia, and homophobia.”

In 2019 under Beevers’ direction, the California Military Department—and Beevers himself—participated in a gay pride parade in uniform. Beevers has participated in pride parades and has been an activist for LGBTQ issues across the state for many years.
