What is the reason the GLBT Community doesn't support Bradley Manning?

23. He apparently released whatever he could get his hands on,

including thousands of cables with names of allies, putting innocent people's lives at risk. No, I wouldn't have done what he did and I hope my children wouldn't either.

I don't think his gender issues are why he was prosecuted. He was a soldier who clearly broke the law. I have no issue with his being prosecuted; but I do with how he was treated subsequently.

Diplomatic cables, Guantanamo Bay files [edit]

Further information: United States diplomatic cables leak and Guantanamo Bay files leak

Manning told Lamo he was also responsible for the "Cablegate" leak of 251,287 State Department cables, written by 271 American embassies and consulates in 180 countries, dated December 1966 to February 2010. The cables were passed by Assange to his three media partners, plus El País and others, and published in stages from November 28, 2010, with the names of sources removed. WikiLeaks said it was the largest set of confidential documents ever released into the public domain.[40] The rest of the cables were published unredacted by WikiLeaks on September 1, 2011, after David Leigh and Luke Harding of The Guardian inadvertently published the passphrase for a file that was still online; Nicks writes that one Ethiopian journalist had to leave his country and the U.S. government said it had to relocate several sources. Manning is also thought to have been the source of the Guantanamo Bay files leak, originally obtained by WikiLeaks in 2010, and published by The New York Times over a year later on April 24, 201
