Chelsea Manning got a lively welcome at Sunday’s LGBTQ Pride event, marking the second time in a month that a New York parade featured cheering for someone who’d committed major crimes against the United States.

Like unrepentant terrorist Oscar López Rivera, Manning won clemency from President Barack Obama on his way out of office, in her case release after seven years of a 35-year sentence for violating the Espionage Act.

Unlike OLR, her presence in a city parade came as a late surprise. Plus, she was a featured guest of the ACLU; the parade committee never planned to honor her.

So it’s understandable that the crowd focused on her as just a famous trans person, in many eyes a martyr — not as a traitor.

But the fact remains that Pfc. Bradley Manning in 2009-10 pulled off the then-largest-ever theft of US classified information, sending three-quarters of a million documents to WikiLeaks.

In the civil liberties and anti-war world, he/she won praise as a whistleblower. On the national security side, the leaks cost America prestige and, worse, lives.

Having made such a stink over López Rivera, we think it’d be rank discrimination if we didn’t note for the record that, in our eyes, Manning is still a traitor who shouldn’t be honored in any parade.
