Join MemoriesSimenon Honoré As a GLF veteran, the explosive excitment of Gay Pride in the early '70s is my enduring memory. We were breaking new ground, often in the face of opposition not only from the establishment but from others in the LGBTQ community who were afraid we were "upsetting the apple cart", which indeed we were. GLF were like the 'shock troops' who punched a hole in the consesnsus that we could be 'tolerated' as long as we were 'discreet'. Changes in the law came later. The first barrier to break was a pyschological one and that I think was GLF's historical contribution to our movement.That is my Pride.

christopher gull I remember many Prides, London, Brighton, Berlin...Section 28 marches to picnics in the park. This is one that I have photographic evidence for, and is from about 1994 I think. I was Chair of a Charity called Brighton Cares, which was basically a hardship fund for people affected by AIDS/HIV. Our logo was a heart, with a Brighton Pavilion Dome on top of it. My partner Gary designed the logo, and then designed and made this version to be worn....John Saies volunteered to walk the route wearing the logo, whilst I carried the bucket to collect along the way. This looks like Preston Street, maybe St James Street, or London Road...and seems deserted...I don´´t know why..

Francisco Guillen I love pride and dressing up. I always try and get to the Ford tent and have my picture taken. It become a ritual. But most of all singing on the brighton gay men’s chorus float. I’ll miss it this year. So next year let’s make it bigger x
