Chelsea Manning attends her first post-prison Pride parade
She rode on the ACLU float.
Former U.S. soldier Chelsea Manning took part in her first Pride since being released from prison in May.
Manning on Sunday rode on the American Civil Liberties Union float in New York City alongside Gavin Grimm, a transgender teen who sued his school for not allowing him to use the boys’ restroom. The ACLU shared a photo of Manning on Twitter standing on a float behind a rainbow-colored heart.
Happy first Pride March, Chelsea Manning! #NYCPride2017 pic.twitter.com/nLfXV3KAKK
— ACLU National (@ACLU) June 25, 2017
In 2013 Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison after leaking more than 700,000 classified and unclassified documents to WikiLeaks. She served only seven years when former President Barack Obama decided to commute her sentence in January.

Manning shared her own photo on Twitter, saying that she lost her voice “from screaming so much.” People across Twitter sent her love to mark the occasion.

This was not Manning’s first Pride, but it was her first as a free woman—it likely won’t be her last.
