Brighton & Hove came together on Saturday, August 5 for Brighton & Hove Pride, which marked 50 years since the first ‘Gay Pride march’ in the city.
Despite terrible weather courtesy of Storm Antoni, the city came alive to celebrate and ‘Dare to Be Different’. Like every year, community groups, charities, LGBTQ+ choirs – including Actually Gay Men’s Chorus and Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus – and services – including Sussex Police and East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service – took part in the parade which snaked its way from Hove to Preston Park for We Are FABULOSO featuring Mae Muller, Black Eyed Peas and Dylan on the Main Stage.
Brighton & Hove Pride is a fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund, which is the central hub for fundraising within Brighton & Hove’s LGBTQ+ communities, and distributes grants to local projects which benefit, and make a difference, to the lives of hundreds of individuals within those communities.
