Behind the glitz and glamour of the Pride Parade, a Carnival of Diversity the politics still managed to shine through.
Brighton and Hove District Labour Party, The Liberal Democrats and Brighton and Hove Green party all had a presence on the Pride along with unions including the RMT, Unite and National Union of Teachers. Peter Tatchell walked with campaigners on the parade and then gave the keynote speech from the main stage where he reminded people of the discrimination of LGBT people in Northern Ireland in the Commonwealth and in the many countries around the world where people continue to be persecutes for being LGBT. Peter received a rapturous response from the main stage audience on the park.
