Photos of Brighton Pride Parade 2000

11 photographs of Brighton Pride celebrations in 1994 and 1995

Pink Fringe does Pride at Brighton, 2nd–4th August 2013. Enticing entertainments for all persuasions, including The LipSinkers & Lorraine Bowen, I Wanna Be Loved by You and the Pink Fringe Picnic.

Pride float 2023. To commemorate the 50 years since the very first Brighton Pride, Alf Le Flohic and I recreated some placards we had seen the Sussex GLF carrying on some of their protest marches. Gomorrah is Hot was a bit of poetic licence to go with the one about Sodomy being cool, which is a slogan seen in one of the old photos. Also on the float was my friend Danny and several fellow community curators from the Queer the Pier Exhibition at Brighton Museum.

In 2015 I watched Pride from a top floor flat on the seafront. That year the parade was delayed due to a potential bomb scare (which turned out to be a pin hole camera apparently?) The parade of course was not cancelled or postponed, but went ahead on a slightly edited route- a metaphor perhaps for the resilience and adaptability of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The flyer contains information about meetings, support services and social events organised by The Clare Project, a transgender support and social group, and documents the development of the organisation from 2000 to 2018.
