*“However, dig a little deeper, keep an eye on the news, read some of the comments on news websites, and it becomes clear that there is still a long way to go within the UK and abroad.”* This years umbrella campaigning theme for Brighton Pride is *Freedom to Live*.Organisers wants to know why Pride still matters to people in 2014.Send up to 200 words on why Pride matters to you to: [pridematters@Brighton-pride.org](mailto:pridematters@brighton-pride.org)The best submissions will appear on the *Pride Matters* page on the Pride website.
