San Francisco's Sunday, June 30th, 2013 Gay Pride Parade enthusiastically ­celebrated The Supreme Court's 2013 re-institution of Gay Marriage. The rejection of Bradley Manning as the parade's Grand Marshall resurrected the issue of this gay hero's incarceration and torture for whistle-blowing on U.S. Military malfeasance. To correct this miscalculation, a hugely attended special Bradley Manning contingent, visited personally by Viet Nam war whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg, honored this special young man instead.

Please click on the accompanying video with the same name as this short introduction (2013 Double Pride: Gay Marriage and Bradley Manning) to hear and see five special San Francisco voices from the Bradley Manning contingent -

Hene Kelly, CARA, California Alliance of Retired Americans; '

Jeremy Rice,' 23-year-old Bradley Manning contemporary;

Diana Petrone Hartmann, 'Peace Granny;'

Rowan and Riley The Dog, human and canine gay activists,

Michael Diehl, Oakland organizer at BOSS (Building Opportunities For Self Sufficiency), and Mayor of Berkeley Streets;

Andy Blue, San Francisco activist; and

Garden Asp, Sister of Perpetual Indulgence. Until you have seen a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and felt the spiritual joy, you just haven't lived!

Please find my video in the video links section. And spread the word about Bradley Manning. As Andy Blue, SF activist says: “We gotta get him out!”
