A controversy has erupted around the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade after its organizers reversed a decision to make the U.S. Army whistleblower Bradley Manning an honorary grand marshal. Manning’s nomination was approved last week, but was soon rescinded after coming under criticism from gay Republicans and military servicemembers. A protest was held outside the San Francisco Pride Office to oppose the reversal earlier this week. Referring to Manning’s ongoing military trial, the demonstrators chanted: “They say court-martial, we say grand martial.”
