People gathered in Brighton’s **Jubilee Square** to listen to a moving performance from Brighton’s LGBTQ+ choir, the **Rainbow Chorus** – who performed the beautiful *Chosen Family* – and there was a digital name ritual and a community lunch served.

The grassroots event was organised collaboratively by some of Brighton & Hove trans/TNBI groups (**The Clare Projec**t, **Trans Pride Brighton & Hove**, **Trans Sober**, **Navigate**) with support from allied LGBTQ+ organisations/networks (**Ledward Centre** and **BHCC LGBT Staff Network**).

**Brighton & Hove City Council** is to fly trans flags from **Brighton Town Hall** and **Hove Town Hall** today to honour the memory of people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence and raise awareness of the immense suffering and harm caused by transphobia.
