The Brighton & Hove LGBT Community Safety Forum have chosen to use this years Pride theme of ICONS to recognise and show appreciation to some of those local LGBT people they consider their ICONS.
As their budget for Pride is minimal they have hand written the names of their icons onto pink triangles symbolic of the Nazi labelling during WW2 and they will wear them as they march through the city on the Gay Icons parade.
Billie Lewis, Chair of the LGBT CSF, said:
“We thought that it was important to identify some of those who have made a positive impact to our community. So many people work tirelessly within the LGBT Community and don’t always receive the recognition they deserve. This is our little way of saying ‘thank you’.”
They have chosen:
• Mike Dalley
• David Raven AKA Maisie Trollette
• Bryn Musson
• Kate Wildblood
• James Ledward
• Peter Otto
• Davina Sparkle
• Dulcie Danger
• James Brooks
• Paul Kemp
