Chelsea Manning or Bradley Manning?

[live love laugh]

20. I posted yesterday and had to go away but after reading the responses here I must say

that I started this thread yesterday because, being very busy, I was not "up" on the Chelsea Manning issue. Once I gleaned info from Google I posted that it was a bit much to digest because all I had seen was info about the sentencing and then the name Chelsea kept popping up--in the meantime I'm doing other things but was curious and took a moment to see if they were related.

There was nothing offensive meant by my post, it was simply my thoughts at that time. I do find it difficult to keep up with so much information. Period. And whether the info is LGBT related or not, that difficulty does not change.

And the fact that it is difficult for me to digest all of this and much more besides this has nothing to do with your feelings and the offense taken here.

I think some people are overly ready to take offense even when none is present.
