Amazing that his defense team would admit that.
Gays don't want to discuss that Bradley Manning's homosexuality and confusion over his sexual identity was central to his treasonous release of top-secret information. But there's no getting around it.
Maybe they'll go for a defense that he was a persecuted gay man in a homophobic racist sexist military, and it's therefore the military's fault that Manning committed treason.
They can't convict Manning and throw him in a dark hole fast enough, as far as I'm concerned.
