Free Chelsea Manning! – LGBT Wikileaker

21-year-old Chelsea Manning is imprisoned for allegedly leaking the trove of U.S. diplomatic communications published by Wikileaks.

These leaks exposed the rampant cynicism of American foreign policy, regardless of administration, and the United States’ intimate relationships with brutal dictators and human rights abusers around the world….

On this show the Gay Liberation Network’s Buddy Bell and Andy Thayer discuss the significance of Private Manning’s case for the LGBT movement and social justice movements in general.

Note: as this show was broadcast before Chelsea announced her Trans identity, she is referred to here by her former name, “Bradley” and as “gay,” as that was her public personae at the time.
