PinkUk's August's Newsletter; Armed officers will patrol Brighton & Hove pride

Issue No. 76 – August 2026

Skeive Sorlandsdager Pride 2026, Kristiansand, Norway. 23rd to 29th August 2026

Armed officers will patrol Brighton & Hove pride

Sussex Police have confirmed that armed officers will patrol Brighton & Hove Pride this Saturday, alongside uniformed police, plain-clothed officers, and specialist teams as part of a security operation planned over several months. The decision follows the attack at Berlin's Pride on 25th July, in which a van was driven into a crowd and people were stabbed, leaving one dead and at least 29 injured. Brighton & Hove Pride is the UK's largest Pride festival, attracting an estimated 500,000 people. Sussex Police say safety remains their top priority and are urging attendees to enjoy the celebrations while staying alert.

Brighton and the LGBTQ+ homeless

We have an article from a Housing Advocate &  Campaigner, about Brighton and the LGBTQ+ homeless. LGBTQ+ homelessness is rising, and our community is still plugging the gaps with sofas and spare rooms where the system refuses to act. Read article.
