It looks like after protests and being flamed repeatedly by local activists and other members of the media for flip flopping on the selection of Bradley Manning as SF Pride Grand Marshall, Pride is having another change of heart. In a note received by one of our tipsters from Joey Cain, former SF Pride Grand Marshal, the Pride board will be holding a public meeting to consider reinstating Manning as SF Pride Grand Marshall,
Pride's board of director's meeting is this Tuesday, May 7th at 7pm, 1841 Market Street, 4th floor, the entrance is at 30 Pearl Street. The board will be deciding if they should reverse their decision on the Bradly Manning Grand Marshal revocation. This is an open to the public meeting. Please attend and show your support for reinstating Manning as Grand Marshal. I am sorry I can't be there, I am in Buffalo dealing with family issues.

We'll find out how the board votes and update you on their decision as soon as we know.
