WikiLeaks Suspect Won’t Be SF Pride Parade Marshal (Bradley Manning)
KOB ^ | 04/26/2013 | Lisa Leff

Racing to stanch a flow of criticism, the president of San Francisco’s annual gay pride celebration said Friday that the U.S. Army private charged in a massive leak of U.S. secrets to the WikiLeaks website will not be an honorary grand marshal after all.

SF Pride Board President Lisa Williams said in a statement that an employee of the organization had prematurely notified imprisoned intelligence specialist Bradley Manning this week that he had been selected for the distinction, which recognizes about a dozen celebrities, politicians and community organizations each year for their contributions to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities.

"That was an error, and that person has been disciplined. He does not now, nor did he at that time, speak for SF Pride," Williams said.

My question is, why do they think Manning would be inappropriate.

Are you kidding? He's a perfect "grand marshall" for the San Fransicko "pride" parade - - he's a turd poker AND an America-hating traitor. What more could they ask for?

I suspect with the military allowing homosexuals to serve openly there is a lot of opposition to this Manning character.

But other gay rights activists were less enthusiastic, saying that Manning should not be honored either as an individual or as a representative of the gay rights movement. "Manning’s blatant disregard for the safety of our service members and the security of our nation should not be praised," said Stephen Peters, president of American Military Partners Association. The group, which advocates for same-sex military families, had called on the Pride Committee to rescind the invitation. "No community of such a strong and resilient people should be represented by the treacherous acts that define Bradley Manning," Peters said.

I’m sure that faggot Stephen Peters came out with his statement about Manning strictly for PR purposes. “See? Us faggots are patriotic, too!” Given his agenda of “advocat(ing) for same-sex military families”, he really had no choice but to diss Manning. Heck, the whole “controversy” was probably a ruse from the beginning. A set-up. The reality is, Manning is a hero to that crowd.

How about we start calling it what it is;
a freak parade.

Had the misfortune of being stuck in the middle of one years ago in San Fran, most hideous thing I ever had the misfortune to witness.

No such thing as gay pride.
There is homosexual attitude.

Laughed at that picture. These poor sick bastards are a joke. They need to be incarcerated at a funny farm.

What kind of parents would subject their child to that sort of scene?

Wouldn’t that parade have been a better place to set off explosives than the Boston Marathon? Allah hates queers, right?
