And there is plenty of concern over Manning in that community.

or care anything about it. To counter your token Manning hater I offer this:



Over 1,000 supporters of openly gay whistle-blower, PFC Bradley Manning, marched in the Bradley Manning Support Network contingent in the SF Pride Parade today. The anchors of KOFY TV’s live coverage noted that it was the largest non-corporate contingent in the Parade, second only to Google overall.

The contingent featured former military strategist Daniel Ellsberg who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times. Ellsberg, adorned with a pink boa, rode on a pickup truck declaring Bradley Manning “The People’s Grand Marshal.”

The contingent featured dozens of supporters riding aboard a trolley car, the Brass Liberation Orchestra marching band, and a synchronized dance group doing a routine to Michael Jackson’s “They don’t care about us”. High above Market Street, an airplane dragged a banner reading “Our LGTBQ Hero – Bradley Manning”.

your posts are a joke. And I daresay I'm not alone among DUers in that sentiment.

Thomas Beattie a trans-traitor too. Many trans* people have their own share of internalized transohobia and gender policing is not unheard of in the community.

That doesn't make it okay.

What Manning was convicted of does not change who she is or how her medical treatment should be handled.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
