On **Saturday, 19 July**, **Brighton** once again became a beacon of pride and protest as thousands gathered for **Trans Pride Brighton 2025** \- Europe’s first and largest Trans Pride event.

The day began at **Victoria Gardens**, where attendees assembled for speeches before marching through the city centre. With chants echoing and banners flying, the march was both a celebration and a protest - highlighting urgent issues such as healthcare access and trans youth protection. An accessible route ensured inclusivity for all.

The day culminated in a surprise performance by British singer-songwriter and trans ally **Kate Nash**, who appeared at Dorset Gardens wearing trans-flag striped fairy wings. Her set included the powerful new anthem ***GERM***, a fierce pro-trans track that resonated deeply with the crowd. Nash addressed rising hate crimes against trans people, stating:

> “According to Home Office figures, this country has seen an increase in hate crimes towards trans people… I’m the first cis person to play at Trans Pride Brighton, I feel really honoured to be here.”
