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

27. Gee who gave you the right to declare that SF Pride = 'the gay community'?

First off, even the article you post here is about the support for Manning in the community being overridden by SF Pride, which is a large local organization with lots of corporate sponsorship which organizes an event. They are not even State wide.
In addition anyone who has so much as watched 'Milk' would be aware of the fact that SF's wealthy gay power elite has long presented a relatively conservative manner to the world, they were not early supporters of Harvey's and instead supported the straight 'machine' candidate.
It's just crazed to point to a staid, ongoing corporate supported organization in one city in the midst of a disagreement about Manning with and declare the that organization speaks for the entire national gay community when they very clearly don't even speak for the whole of their local SF community.
