Brighton Pride 2017 East Sussex

Info

Parade
Brighton Pride’s 2017 Summer of Love will be a stunning celebration of our LGBT+ community and supporters, bringing together the best of Brighton & Hove under a giant rainbow flag. A festival like no other, a campaign to inspire, a party to remember and a fundraising weekend to be proud of, Brighton Pride’s Summer of Love will be the most spectacular Pride event of 2017, filled with joy, love, and pride.
In 1967 our LGBT+ community began its long march towards full equality when homosexuality was decriminalised. We still have a long way to go to ensure everyone across the globe has the freedom to live but as we have witnessed so often over the past fifty years, laws can be challenged, prejudices addressed, walls broken down, rights won and lives changed.
