"Brighton Pride 2006 memory
An amazing day, walking near Preston Park, celebrating, drinking and embracing everyone.
Such a sense of community, a lot of chaps, someone dressed as Elizabeth and partying long into the night.

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.
