"" SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Organizers of San
Francisco’s pride weekend festivities have
yanked the welcome mat away from the
National Guard, voting to ban the Guard from
setting up a booth at the festival.
The decision comes at the same time Pride
organizers are allowing a controversial Army
private who leaked military secrets to be
honorary grand marshal.
The board of the San Francisco LGBT Pride
Celebration Committee rejected a request from
the Guard to set up an informational booth at
Civic Center Plaza during Pride Weekend.""

"" There were some protests against the National
Guard’s presence at last year’s San Francisco
event, which also featured the controversy
over Army Pvt. Bradley Manning of Wikileaks
fame being selected – then dropped – as
grand marshal of the parade.
Manning, who now goes by the name Chelsea
Elizabeth Manning, is again invited to be
honorary grand marshal in this year’s parade.
She was convicted last year of violating the
Espionage Act for releasing classified military
documents and sentenced to 35 years
confinement, with a possible parole release in
eight years.""
Link-ayyyyyyy.
