Pride in Brighton

Let's be clear about one thing, fun-seekers: the summertime Pride event in Brighton and Hove is hardly the largest occasion. There will be a sequin-strewn procession, but don't anticipate miles of extravagant floats and glamorous, Rio-style dancing troupes. It's far more mundane than that, with gangs of friends and coworkers dressed up in haphazard fancy dress, waving in rhythm to corny music, or chuckling their way through shaky dance routines. Yes, there is an all-day dance party in the city's largest park - but this isn't Ibiza.

Inclusion is something that Brighton and Hove Pride has in abundance. Unlike Sydney, where more militant lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender organizations have been known to spit fire at the prospect of non-LGBT revellers muscling in on their Mardi Gras, Brighton welcomes anybody and everyone. You don't have to dress up, but if you want your photo to appear in the galleries that sprout up all over the internet just after the event, you should.
