Further to the outrage expressed at the announcement of Bradley Manning being a grand marshal at San Francisco Pride, a few minutes ago Lisa L. Williams, SF Pride board president issued the following statement:
26 April 2013: Bradley Manning will not be a grand marshal in this year’s San Francisco Pride celebration. His nomination was a mistake and should never have been allowed to happen. A staff person at SF Pride, acting under his own initiative, prematurely contacted Bradley Manning based on internal conversations within the SF Pride organization. That was an error and that person has been disciplined. He does not now, nor did he at that time, speak for SF Pride.
Bradley Manning is facing the military justice system of this country. We all await the decision of that system. However, until that time, even the hint of support for actions which placed in harms way the lives of our men and women in uniform — and countless others, military and civilian alike — will not be tolerated by the leadership of San Francisco Pride. It is, and would be, an insult to every one, gay and straight, who has ever served in the military of this country. There are many, gay and straight, military and non-military, who believe Bradley Manning to be innocent. There are many who feel differently. Under the US Constitution, they have a first amendment right to show up, participate and voice their opinions at Pride this year.
Specifically, what these events have revealed is a system whereby a less-than-handful of people may decide who represents the LGBT community’s highest aspirations as grand marshals for SF Pride. This is a systemic failure that now has become apparent and will be rectified. In point of fact, less than 15 people actually cast votes for Bradley Manning. These 15 people are part of what is called the SF Pride Electoral College, comprised of former SF Pride Grand Marshals. However, as an organization with a responsibility to serve the broader community, SF Pride repudiates this vote. The Board of Directors for SF Pride never voted to support this nomination. Bradley Manning will have his day in court, but will not serve as an official participant in the SF Pride Parade.
The two-day San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration and Parade is June 29-30.
We know what he did, and he was brave. The patriotic arguments you raise has been used against the LGBT movement before.
Shame!
This guy wasnt brave. He betrayed the uniform he wears and the millions that came before him. He put his fellow sisters and brothers, gay and straight in harms way. All he did was weaken a nation. Hes no hero. If he had a problem with what people were doing in a time of war he had OFFICAL MILITARY channels he could have gone to, BUT NO. He wanted to make a name for himself so I say lock him up and throw away the key…in the days of yester-year, a person that committed TREASON in a time of war were given a .45 court marshal. Trader.
Time of war? What war? Did we declare these police actions as wars? When did this happen? Where are the WMD’s? Bin Laden is dead? We are simply doing the work of the energy giants and giving the blood of our sons and daughters for their profits. Mannisng never killed anyone. Halliburton killed hundreds.
thnx
Hi!
We would like to apologize on behalf of SF Pride and open voting on the Grand Marshal for 2013 to everyone. Cast your ballot here: https://www.facebook.com/LISAWILLIAMSisaFASCIST
Please get as many friends as possible to participate! We want this process to be as open and democratic as possible. Thanks!
All he has done is embarass US politicians like Clinton and Obama. Putting lives in danger? That’s more likely to have been the result of the neocon outing of Valery Plame, an active duty CIA asset working in Turkey to investigate nuke proliferation. All her assets have been burned, just as US assets in Russia were burned by Pollard’s treason.
Please feel free to vote for your preferred candidate for Grand Marshal 2013 here: https://www.facebook.com/LISAWILLIAMSisaFASCIST
We apologize that the process was not open and democratic previously, but have since disciplined Lisa Williams and let her go. Thanks!
Shiloh, I’m sorry, but you are one of the most ignorant people I’ve heard a comment from, and these days there are plenty. You obviously are not in the service, never have been, and show your allegiance on your sleeve, and that allegiance is to the mass media and ignorance. How is he a traitor? That was a claim by an embarrassed government caught LYING to us. Again. Can you mention any of the claims made in his leaked information? Do you care about both sides of the story? You obviously feel the need to be judge, jury, and executioner for whoever you see fit. I’m supremely disappointed in you and every brainwashed ignoramus that shares your views. You CANNOT go through military channels when those military channels are the ones making sure the public doesn’t know the truth, you dolt. He cared enough about his nation, about the innocents suffering from our ILLEGAL occupations, and honest truth. He risked EVERYTHING so we KNOW the TRUTH. And a propaganda campaign dubbing him a traitor leads to people not even looking at the information. You make me sick. To call for someone jailed for life, to be SHOT??? Over this? Who the hell do you think you are? He put NOBODY in harms way. Every soldier there is in harms way because our wars are ILLEGAL! The rest of the world hates us for our murders and occupations. Nothing can change your mind, but you and the people that caved to Manning being removed as marshal are pathetic and of the lowest forms of life. When people like you are out of the way, maybe we’ll have peace through love, truth, and compassion. You exhibit none of those qualities. Go watch Fox News.
we need people to stand up in this way. thank you.
Word!
Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers since 2009 than all other presidents combined since 1900. What chance did the important and truthful material that Bradley Manning expose have of actually being acted upon through OFFICIAL MILITARY channels…..z e r o. He did a brave and courageous thing. AND what does the military have to do with a decision as to which gay man or woman will be the Grand Marshal? This is shameful on so many fronts…..
“He wanted to make a name for himself…”
Yeah. That’s why he never told anyone what he did except the creep who ratted on him.
“he had OFFICAL MILITARY channels he could have gone to…”
I believe he did and they told him to keep quiet and not rock the boat. And what would you do when it was those same “OFFICAL [sic] MILITARY channels” that were committing the crimes?
“He put his fellow sisters and brothers … in harms way.”
There is no evidence that anyone was put in harm’s way. Even the State Department has admitted as much. And the documents were carefully vetted prior to their release to make sure nobody’s situation was compromised.
“I say lock him up and throw away the key…”
Even though he has yet to be convicted of any crime. Way to be cheerleader for the ignorant and uninformed.
In America, if you torture, you go free. If you expose torture, you go to jail (see John Kiriakou, former CIA agent).
If you expose government misconduct, including but not limited to murder, blackmail, deceit, and outright theft, you have somehow “betrayed the uniform.” Shiloh, that you could even utter the platitude “he had official military channels he could have gone to” bespeaks either unfathomable naivete or just plain stupidity. Keep drinking the kool-aid.
In harm’s way – how? Can you name ONE person who was hurt?
What “war”? Who are we at war with? Do you mean the AUMF? But that lasts forever. Are we are far forever, then?
“Trader.”
What’s wrong with trading?
Shiloh, Manning showed the world, the criminal acts of the crew of a Helicopter Gunship, he also showed the World the criminal acts of that OFFICIAL MILITARY that already knew of its existance and did NOTHING, that too by the way is a WAR CRIME. As for treason he hasnt been charged with treason, the Military is too scared of that, because the United States Constitution requires that a person charged with treason has to appear in a full article 3 CIVILIAN court as it is the ONLY crime that the Constitution has specific guidelines to try! Something that the Military most definitely doesnt want because Manning would Walk on his treatment by the cowardly USMC personnel that shamefully treated him contemptuously and criminally in Quantico!
I long for a day where American patriots will not only lack the ignorance you clearly possess, but will be able to accurately spell the words they accuse others of. I think you lack of critical thinking makes you are the traitor* (not trader, he’s not a fucking merchant), for your ignorance is so great you willingly condemn those who expose our governments crimes.
You are talking out of your ass. Obviously you have no idea what this young man did or why he did it. You are parroting the same old propaganda that the government spewed while they held him in solitary confinement for years. Why don’t you take the time to find out the facts before you waste our time by posting such idiotic drivel. BTW…the pentagon found no harm to any servicemen from Manning’s leak and he did try to use the chain of command but they ignored him. Perhaps if you had ever served in the military you would already know this.
Yeah, it was simply Manning putting them in harms way….not our Dear Leaders or the soldiers themselves who signed up knowing the risks of military service but fully ready to kill people in another country to force “freedom” on them.. What a ridiculous point of view you have….too bad your guilt doesnt work too well.
manning made clear that our soldiers were trigger happy killers with fools for leaders and less than honorable methods for choosing targets…
the video of the gunship killing the newsmen and the others including children proves this beyond a doubt…
so shiloh stuff your phony patriotic crap where you found it…
the real treason took place in washington dc and the wars for profit…
That is false. Utterly and completely false. The Pentagon has stated on several occasions that even they can find no evidence of a SINGLE PERSON endangered by Manning’s actions, military, civilian, or informant. He did go to his commanding officer about his concerns and was reprimanded and told to “drop it”, so you’re wrong there too. You might try reading his court statement. Dan Ellsberg leaked Top Secret documents and is a national hero. Manning leaked nothing above “Classified”. His actions were brave and everything I’ve been told to honor as an American. You, on the other hand, are wrong on all counts and ough to be ashamed.
A “trader” is someone who trades stuff. Baseball cards, Naked lady tees, Faberge eggs and the like. I think you meant traitor who is is someone who betray’s their country. As a former service member (and I can tell you’re not one), I can tell you that Bradley Manning’s oath was to his country and he didn’t betray that trust. He’s a political prisoner because exposed a lie his country was trying to keep. Which indeed is the American way.
“Trader”, LOL
SF Pride Parade? How about Sf Gutless Sniveling Weasel Parade ?
Covering up war crimes IS a war crime. Failure to investigate, and prosecute war crimes IS a war crime. In the matters of the “Collateral Murder” incident, and Mahmudiyah , Manning is the only non-criminal involved, being prosecuted by the criminals. The revelations about Mahmudiyah are why we aren’t still in Iraq, ’til at least 2024. The Wikileaks releases revealed Obomber ‘s & Petraeus’ lies about the then secret (to us) war in Yemen. They revealed O & Hil’s illegal sophistry, and action ( Or non-actions) in response to to the Honduran coup. They revealed the State Department carrying water for Monsanto, in planning retaliation against countries that banned GMO crops. Even the innocuous material reveals a massive, and habitual abuse of power. That is, the power of secrecy.
Manning deserves every medal anybody can find to give him, and new ones should probably be invented. He got nothing for all that information, so no, he is definitely not a “Trader”.;0Not a traitor, either. A genuine hero .
Trader, I guess Traitor is what you meant… and by brave what do you mean? Is bravery sitting in a helicopter rejoicing in glow of heavy machine gun fire ripping through bodies of Reuters Journalists? Exposing WAR CRIMES should not be considered treason…We fight for “freedom” but when we expose OUR OWN governments faults we are hunted down and persecuted. and if you knew a damn thing you were talking about OFFICIAL MILITARY channels could have been gone through and would undoubtedly fail as have hundreds of other whistleblowing attempts about the war crimes committed by soldiers of the US Military. I understand that Military force is required and that war can be necessary but covering up war crimes such as cold blooded murder of journalists(reuters, and americans) is something that should never happen. the reason why Manning is in prison right now is because it is ILLEGAL TO SHOW TO US MILITARY IN A UNSAVORY WAY! dont believe me…read the transcripts from his trial.
Actually he tried military channels, then he tried the TV news, then he tried several print news sources, only wikileaks returned his contact attempts. Please inform yourself before you judge. The community has suffered far too long from uninformed hatred
If Bradley Manning had gone through official military channels he would have been silenced before he could make his revelations public. My four years of military service, including 1 year in Vietnam, are my qualifications for this statement. Both the Sec of Defense and Sec of State are on record as saying that no one was killed or injured as a result of his revelations. The transcript of his statement to the court which was not released to the public clearly states that the documents he released lost all strategic value after 24 or at most 48 hours. He released these documents months and years later. Their classification as secret or top secret was strictly done to keep the public in the dark and unaware of the deadly results of wars that are both illegal and immoral.
You sound like a facist in the making. Back in the days of “yester-year” we had slavery, jim crowe, people of color and women had no rights to vote. and of course there was”the closet”. Do you really want to glorify violence. You have no idea what about the principles that this country aspires to but has never achieved. Bradley Manning is hero of the highest order for revealing the truth about criminal and illegal maner in which this country conducts it’s policies. A torturer in us military unifrom is a torturer same as the nazis.
Bradley Manning was a whistleblower.
Are you aware of what whistleblowers do? They tell us when those in our government or within our military of whatever office or rank are doing unlawful and corrupt things; and what those corrupt things are.
You are a misinformed sycophant: “Someone who tries to get what they want, or earn someone’s respect, by using flattery on those people who would be able to influence their goals. The term sycophant has a negative connotation, because the person does not attempt to achieve their goals through hard work or sincerity.”
He put himself on the line to inform us. Guess you have problems with those who do NOT “just follow orders” or “just doing their jobs” – the same one who allowed what happened in Germany to go on. Grow up and learn something besides what you are told to think. Many whistleblowers are killed, imprisoned, tortured, and/or made “fun of” to control the thinking of the masses.
He is a hero who tried to stop the US criminal war machine. Under the Nuremberg decisions after WWII, it is his duty to report war crimes. Let’s hope we have many more Bradley Mannings in the future.
Apparently when one witnesses war crimes one should keep quiet and not rock the military boat. Like a Good German.
And by the way ,Shiloh, it is traitor, not trader. Unless you are revering to traitor joes
jj
He is more a patriot than you could ever understand. Despite that, SF Pride is punishing him before found guilty. His first amendment right was subservient to that of the military, according to Lisa. This is not a time of war. It is a time of FALSE wars in order to reduce civil rights. You need to pay attention as some reduction in freedoms may not be undone. It was Bradley who brought this to our attention, not you, not the military and not the government. Bradley is on your side even if you cannot recognize it.
Official military channels are what allowed Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and the countless CIA black sites where they tortured innocent civilians around the world to exist. Manning is a hero, the only people who committed treason are those who did those heinous acts and the people who refused to stand up and say it was wrong.
I assume you mean traitor, as being a ‘trader’ is as American as apple pie. What are your thoughts on using propaganda and mendacity to send thousands of brave souls into harm’s way to shore up your small clique’s political goals? How about causing the deaths of thousands of servicemen and women, as well as untold hundreds of thousands of dead and displaced civilians? Is that patriotic if you’re doing it from behind a lectern with a presidential seal on it?
thnx.
Exactly. I don’t think Harvey Milk would have approved these statements! The person who tried to get Manning to lead the parade is to be commended!
“If you see something say something” – unless they’re war crimes, in which case you will be detained indefinitely…
Bad call SF LGBT community to position yourselves as anti-whistleblower – who do you think are and were the first people to speak the truth on your behalf?? LGBT WHISTLEBLOWERS.
Shame indeed. What a despicable, cowardly, and to my mind, disgusting statement. Nice to see a group that is supposed to stand for the fight against oppression throwing under the bus one of the great heroes of his generation.
I’m embarressed about the descicion taken by the cowardly boss of the Pride movement in SF. I will also advocate that you receive no support from the Occupy movement in Sweden.
Shame on you!

Bradley Manning is the greatest American who ever lived. At least he did something to make a difference.
Cowardly. There is probably no American more worthy of praise right now than Bradley Manning. Way to cosy up to arch-conservative, anti-press, pro-secrecy conservativism.
Perhaps your next stance should be opposing gay marriage.
And the consistently spineless gay mainstream sinks to even lower and creepier depths, via a single press statement.
Bravo, SF “Pride”. Overblown, much?
This is bullshit! Free Bradley Manning! Fuck the overlord-class people running Gay Pride Inc. too!
What a COWARDLY MOVE by SF PRIDE. The former Grand Marshalls voted for him. Then you invalidate their vote? I wonder who you’ll actually name the Grand Marshall . . . probably some innocuous pop star, no doubt. THE TRUE COWARDICE OF GAY, INC. What happened to pride being about queer liberation and real courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable political opposition. Bradley Manning is a hero. Bradley Manning has been treated especially poorly because of his sexuality. For SF Pride not to draw attention to this fact is an OUTRAGE. It seems don’t ask don’t tell was repealed and now LGBTQ organizations are somehow expected to support the military (and all the misogyny and hyper-masculine violence and terrible acts that go with it). GAY SHAME, not pride.
A remarkable cowardly statement.
Hah, liars liars pantalones en fuego! Corporate sponsors obviously were pissed off. Remember this is the same organization that threatened to sue a vlogger a couple of years ago for merely mentioning that a shooting took place near an official pride event. Don’t trust these people.

There is no reversal of decision. He was never selected. A small group of former Grand Marshals (The “Electoral College”) nominated him. Final decision is the Board’s. While Board was debating, a rogue staffer with his own agenda leaked that he had been “selected”. Thanks to the Board for setting the record straight (so to speak) and rectifying a bad situation. Bradley Manning as Grand Marshal would have been a slap in the face to all of us LGBT veterans who served.
I’m a gay Vet and I support Bradley Manning 100% and SF Pride has shown they have no backbone and caved to pressure.SF Pride should have never reversed their decision.

To the very UNINFORMED writer of this article: there has been NO danger to ANYONE by these leaks– they were over-classified– as Bradley stated they should be in the ‘public domain’ and Bradley was careful to only release information that would not jeopardize lives.
These wars are criminal and have resulted in the deaths of over 1.5 million innocent human beings.

What the fuck are you people doing putting Manning out as a hero? He is virtually accused of treason. He sold classified documents to outside sources. I spent my time in the military and know that there are certain things that must remain classified. For the safety of people that are in areas of danger. to put this man on a pedestal just shows how narrow minded you people are. The actions of this person caused harm to people and the diplomatic mission overseas. With your narrow minded thinking there would be no classified material anywhere and this would be a much more dangerous world that we currently live in. IDIOTS!

I am sad to hear that SF Pride “Management” has capitulated to the anit-democratice persecution of Whistleblowers. I’m sure that if the whistleblower had been some macho hetero they would still be silenced but not with the level of torture similar to how bigots like the guys in Wyoming that killed the LGBT kid a few years ago.
This is both an LGBT and a Patriotic issue. Bradley Manning is both. The US Government is “making an example” of him to make sure NONE of us will speak up and call out the horrors and atrocities the US Government continues to perpetrate around the world.

I will tell you what’s a slap in the face. This craven cowardice is a slap in the face to everyone who cares about truth. To every LGBT person who has the guts to tell the truth about their lives and about the powers that be. There was a time when being gay stood for more than shopping and getting married and being in the damn military. There was a time when the gay rights was about justice. If anybody here doubts the power of whole sale assimilation, thank you SF Pride for this abject lesson.

It is sad to see SF Pride capitulate and spit out government rhetoric. Bradley Manning exposed horrible injustices and things that never should have been hidden in the first place. The only reason all those things were hidden was because they’re shameful and inexcusable acts that wrongly deprive people of life, liberty and their pursuit of happiness to ‘safeguard’ ours here in the USA. The saddest of all might be veterans here who have yet to see the justice in Manning’s actions.

By exposing war crimes, Manning was actually doing his duty and nothing he did put the lives of American troops in danger. If anything, he may have helped hasten the departure of America from Iraq and saved US soldiers’ lives. SF Pride sold out a peace hero in a pathetic bid for acceptance from the mass murdering American empire. Vomit. The ruling class loves your irrelevancy and cowardice, SF Pride.
15 votes were cast for Manning? Out of how many? And the person who initiated the vote was disciplined? What the hell. This letter has a sense of urgency that doesn’t seem very professional. How many members on the board, I wonder? If the original vote didn’t follow protocol, that’s one thing. But they didn’t say that. It sounds like there was some kickback to the Manning announcement, and the board is now looking to throw people under the bus. Big mistake.

“Placed in harms [sic] way our men and women in uniform”?
Leaving aside the fact that those in uniform are not “ours” but tools of an imperialist state, and that they have been placed in harm’s way by imperialist presidents who have sent them to invade and occupy countries killing about a million in Iraq alone—these men and women’s actions have often constituted war crimes. The wars have been surrounded by lies, including some revealed by Manning’s heroic action.
This is not an apolitical decision made by the organizers. They are taking a particular stand, showing the world that GLBT people can kiss the ass of the state with as much enthusiasm as any straight people.

If Manning were anywhere else that is a third world nation in its military and did what he did we KNOW what his fate would be.
Of course going through military channels to voice his objection would have done bubkas (nothing). Still, he volunteered for his military position. What did he think the military is about, knitting? The only way to change policy is to vote policy out. We get what we choose just look at the obstructionist Republican racist congress. They are there because we CHOSE them to be there. Beyond that is no matter this nation’s foreign adventures, even with ALL the bad decision making, there is something called America I STILL believe in and to do what Manning did puts us at risk. What would a world look like if Middle East madness prevailed. It SURELY would not be systems that opened up military files for transparency.
NOTHING is perfect nor will it ever be. Take the good this country offers, work within it and make the changes you want. It is the ONLY non violent way for change. Manning was in my opinion a fool to think otherwise. Brave patriot? or treasonous felon, behavior has consequences he will get his day in court because this is America after all and NOT Iran!

Dear Lisa Williams: I am only an ally, I don’t live anywhere near San Francisco, and I’ve never been to the SF Pride Parade so I don’t know how much right I have to weigh in on this matter, but I think you do the Pride Parade a great PR disservice by your obvious outrage (or embarassment?) at the suggestion that Bradley Manning’s nomination for Grand Marshal. I’d ask you to inform yourself fully on Manning’s story, on his case, and in particular the issue of who Manning was allegedly “putting in harm’s way.” This man is a great American hero, and he’s done the gay community proud. He should be celebrated for that.

Manning a true hero? Here is a man, who happens to be a gay transvestite, stealing and disseminating classified information as a protest to “Don’t ask, Don’t tell,” and not due to any objections over the allied prosecution of the war. He endangered many people and may be responsible for getting people killed or maimed. And people in the LGBT community want to celebrate this punk? Manning will get almost that which he deserves. The electoral college that selected him as the Honorary Grand Marshall, and those of you who support that behavior, are quite misguided, ignorant, and possibly malicious.

Just to remind us of what Bradley Manning actually did: He released a video of a group of civilians on a Baghdad street (including two journalists) being machine-gunned from a U.S. helicopter. We weren’t supposed to see that video because it was embarrassing to the government. That’s what whistleblowers do. Were the LGBT soldiers blowing the whistle on their harsh treatment within the military also undermining their fellow troops?

It means the post orgasm San Francisco crowd is just as liberal as the Repulsicans. May this committee fuck each other to death with their whipping crops. It’s a shame that all they believe in is sex, public nudity with paint and episodes of Hawaii 50.

This is a cowardly statement announcing a cowardly decision.
The statement says: “even the hint of support for actions which placed in harms way the lives of our men and women in uniform — and countless others, military and civilian alike — will not be tolerated by the leadership of San Francisco Pride.” What it should say is: “we cannot support even the hint of challenge to a powerful establishment that systematically lies, to Americans and non-Americans alike, about the foreign policy of the US and the actions of its military and para-military forces.”

Manning leaked the “collateral murder” video. The cables which manning leaked were not Top Secret, they were Classified. He leaked them to Wikileaks who assured they would vet and release them to media responsibly. A mistake was made by journalist which prematurely published the password of the encrypted cable database. That was not Mannings fault.
Even released prematurely, the NON “Top Secret” cables did not put lives at risk, they just embarrassed and inconvenienced American Foreign Relations. Which are terrible by the way.
Manning shines across the World from his incarceration as a kind and courageous and peacewilling American. My respect goes out to him and all the other peacewilling Americans, in these ever so capable yet ruthless years.

From the UK. My sorrow is great over this.
One Bradley Manning, one human being with a more than a flicker of humanity and honesty in him, is worth more than the greater part of the US military elite put together.
“There are many who feel differently. Under the US Constitution, they have a first amendment right to show up, participate and voice their opinions at Pride this year.”
sadly Mr. Manning has been denied most of those Constitution rights.

Shame! Marginalized people need Upstanders, not Bystanders. Manning is a hero trying to stop Crimes Against Humanity. Corporate sponsors can require compromises.
“The hint of support for actions…will not be tolerated…” Yet the first amendment rights of his opponents must be protected. What does this mean in the event of people showing up with signage or banners indicating support of Manning? Will parade security or police be called in to eject them?
It’s become increasingly obvious that Pride events in most areas have become little more than advertising opportunities for consumer goods. Would the rebels from the Compton Cafeteria and the Stonewall Inn be welcome? I sometimes doubt it.

I admire SF Pride’s position that (presumed) illegal activity should bar one from being declared grand marshal. Taking a stance that logically means that anyone who has performed sodomy in a state that declares it illegal cannot be grand marshal of the parade is a bold and daring move indeed.

Bradley Manning is a true hero. Outright SF is mobilizing a response, area activists please contact me and I can put you in touch with local liberation organizers!!
What a sniveling, cowardly decision by Lisa Williams. She hasn’t one shred of a fraction of the courage which PFC Manning showed when he revealed the lies and corruption at the heart of our corporate-military state.
I usually visit the SF pride parade from Portland, but I think I’ll take a pass this year… I’d prefer not to take part in any event presided over by someone with such a glaring lack of integrity.
How disgusting.
I wish I could make it to the parade this year to protest the Uncle Tom actions of the SF Pride Board. What a bunch of manure. Don’t scapegoat Williams — everyone who authorized the shameful statement should, as Ignatius J. Reilly might say, “feel the sting of the lash” for their cowardice. I doubt Harvey Milk would tolerate such BS.

After all the adversity that the gay community has endured, you should be ashamed of yourselves for throwing this national hero and torture victim Bradley Manning under the bus like this.
If you had half the courage that Pfc. Manning has, you would immediately retract this cowardly, hypocritical and jingoistic statement and reinstate Manning as “a grand marshal”, or whatever the hell you call it.
Shame on you all.
The ignorance and creepy disciplinarian tone with which this statement was written, reveals a surprising servility. http://t.co/VjS3r3dbmb
So the Gay rights movement is prepared to pander to the most corrupt and criminal elements of corporate-government interests. The very second that gay peoples around the world achieve any power, the very movements that allegedly represent gay people, turn their back on issues of justice and fairness. Hardly a surprise really. With so called friends likes these, I would encourage Bradley Manning to be an anti-gay rights campaigner. Disgraceful, cowardly and more than a little rotten.
I know the LGBT community feels insecure. But this kind of defensive and cowardly attitude is obnoxiously shameful. Manning fought for the truth – beyond the boundary of nationality – as a human, and for the good of humanity. Nationalism will only make you conforming, subjugated people. Resort to humanism – that’s what has saved your community, and can be our only true identity.
Bradley Manning: Brave Hero, sacrificing self for greater good.
Lisa L. Williams: Coward, sacrificing others for selfish gain.
Military justice system? That’s a joke, right? Torturers, rapists and child-killers go free, while Manning is nicked for blowing the whistle. Justice, my a–.
SF Pride’s Bradley Manning Debacle
http://youtu.be/_31oBG06Yuo
San Francisco Pride’s public relations disaster regarding the false announcement that Iraq War whistleblower Bradley Manning was their 2013 Pride Grand Marshal is telling of how LGBT mega groups are whores to the 2-party system charade and also the 1% mega corporations.
So by this exact logic, John Lawrence an Tyron Garner would be ineligible, if the SCOTUS hadn’t intervened. They were, after all, convicted in Texas of the crime of sodomy. Makes perfect sense that LGBTs should never stand up to their government. Obviously, the government is beneficent, and has your interests truly at heart.
Wake the hell up, people: Lisa Williams is only USING YOU for her own political gain. From pariahs to pawns — you’ve come a long way, baby.
RT @ohtarzie: .@SFPride backtracks on naming of B. Manning as Grand Marshall issues HORRIBLE statement. http://t.co/jVKjKdIe1O #news
Lisa WIlliams – living proof that being gay is no impediment to being a loyal ass-licking lackey of establishment fascism and that even a little power is adequate to corrupt some absolutely. Check out her language “disciplined”, “will not be tolerated”, Should never have been allowed to happen”. Even nominating him was a “mistake”. Bet you look fine in your SS Sturmbahnfuhrer’s dress leather outfit Lisa.
Manning is one of the bravest, most patriotic and inspiring human beings in a generation, gay or straight or piebald. People like WIlliams are not fit to shine his boots – spineless cowards with zero integrity. Talk about a disservice to gay pride – it certainly isn’t coming from Bradley Manning. He is a true soldier and servant of America and the Constitution and acted in the finest traditions of the military (just not the dominant cowardly, murderous, parasitic ones).
So sorry for your hurt and suffering Mr Manning, and so very proud of you. You make some of us feel okay to be human beings. You are an inspiration to millions of good people all around the world so please don’t feel alone in your time of trial. Stay aloof in you heart from the criminals and their jackals (like Williams) and never ever believe their self-serving lies. What you have done is pure and beautiful and does honor to all the nameless victims of your enemies.
amen, sister!
I think Bradley Manning is a terrible choice for a Pride grand marshal and I am satisfied with this statement. http://t.co/PLeC8RXNph
Bradley Manning is the bravest person I know of in this country, and SF Pride would be fortunate and honored to have him as the grand marshal. Shame on this organization for believing the lies and discrediting a truly heroic young man! Why do the oppressed have to become such oppressors? Truly sickening and disappointing.
I am a 74-year old gay military veteran, editor of the ProgressivePost in San Diego County.
As always, Glen Greenwald exposed the naked truth: The corporations have bought gay leaders with bribes to keep them silent about corporate criminality and corruption. Gay leaders must be very cautious about accepting corporate bribes. The only real power the gay community has is its moral integrity for human and civil rights. If we sacrifice this, we become like our corrupt politicians, and we forfeit our credibility and power.
I sent out the ProgressivePost this morning with this intro to the lead story:

So you’ve decided he’s guilty and what he’s guilty of, and what the implications are, all without benefit of a trial. There are several choice terms for that. Shame on you.

The guy is a criminal plain and simple. He leaked classified material and violated the UCMJ. Whether that material was over-classified, as some have claimed, or not the decision to leak the information was not to be made by him or anyone else for that fact. Gay or straight he broke military law and should be punished accordingly.
One day those of you calling Manning a traitor and a criminal will remember doing so. And as the police state marches down your street to arrest your kid for speaking out against the government you’ll realize you made a mistake. Only then it will be too late. By the time your vision comes back there will be nothing to see but everything that military machine said they were protecting you from.
I am not gay but Bradly manning is a hero of mine. He exposed the truth about what our government is doing in Iraq and the reasons we are really there and the countless orders that we given to fire on unarmed civilians . GIVE BRADLEY THIS HONOR BACK its the least we can do for someone who is as brave as he is,
If Bradley Manning committed treason (necessary & sufficient to be dubbed ‘traitor’) he must have had dealings with an enemy. The only enemy in the sights of that gunship crew were a group of apparently unarmed civilians. BM had no dealings with them, I think? Or anyone else on the ground in Iraq? The US military really should ask itself if, in this case at least, it is (or isn’t) it’s own enemy! I am neither gay nor American, only reasonable and open-minded and it seems to me that BM’s offence (if any) was a minor breach of military discipline. He is in grave danger of being damned for publishing by proxy. Come back Joseph Stalin…all is forgiven!!!

SF Harvey Milk Democratic Club Board’s Official Statement on SF Pride Parade Grand Marshal Un-Naming
Posted by Peter Gallotta · April 29, 2013 9:54 PM
Like many other LGBT San Franciscans, the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club Board is outraged by SF Pride Committee’s decision to dump Bradley Manning as Parade Grand Marshal. Here is the Milk Club Board’s official statement on this shameful action:
“The Executive Board of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club is disappointed and angered by the recent announcements made by the SF Pride Board, which initially named Bradley Manning as a Grand Marshal of this year’s parade and then recanted Manning’s nomination in response to some predictable opposition. The Milk Club EBoard fervently supports Bradley Manning’s act of conscience and ongoing struggle for basic fundamental rights. Manning’s struggle is symbolic of the struggle of countless individuals to enjoy fair and just treatment under the law. SF Pride has never before shied away from such controversy and we question why this was handled in such an abrupt and unusual way. We would like to remind the Board of SF Pride that all of our LGBT rights have come through actions such as Manning’s, such as Stonewall, such as the Compton’s riot, in opposition to those institutions and laws that would prefer we did not exist.
We call on SF Pride to reinstate Manning as the Grand Marshal duly elected by the former Grand Marshals. We also call on SF Pride to distance itself from the corporate entities currently harming the LGBT community by undermining our privacy rights, foreclosing on our homes, lobbying against our rights, and amplifying hate voices against us.
We stand with Bradley Manning.”
