Chelsea Manning & Gavin Grimm Celebrate at NYC Pride Parade
-----------------------------------------------------------

Thousands of people marched in Pride celebrations across the U.S. and
the world over the weekend. In New York City, formerly imprisoned Army
whistleblower Chelsea Manning celebrated her first Pride as a free
woman, riding in a red convertible with the American Civil Liberties
Union alongside transgender teenager Gavin Grimm, who has sued his local
Virginia school district for the right to use the bathroom that matches
his gender identity.
