I think the LGBT society should be ashamed to have Lisa L Williams to be the president of the board. Of course she has the right to oppose Manning, but it is just shameful to use some shit as her reason.
If we look at why people are fighting about gay rights, one important reason is the fight for equality or you can say it’s a fight for basic human rights. Manning helped revealing those ugly truth and the inequalities caused by the US government and its troops. I cannot imagine anyone who fights for equality can feel so comfortable to ignore the tragedies caused by the military and just accused that the leaked cable can endanger US solders.
I think people can just celebrate Manning by themselves. Lisa L Williams and the board organization are not qualified to do so.

Manning’s blatant disregard for the safety of our service members and the security of our nation should not be praised…No community of such a strong and resilient people should be represented by the treacherous acts that define Bradley Manning.”
