I'd like to tell you about Brighton pride which promotes equality among the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community (we call them LGBT community)

For a couple of days, in summer and winter, there are series of free events.

For example : games, fashion shows, joyrides, meetings, dog shows, pub quizzes, sport competitions... etc...

Its main aim is to develop an environment in favour of LGBT and collect donations to other voluntary organisations.

Brighton pride stretches back as far as 1992 starting as an event onThe Level, since then , it has evolved into the biggest free Pride festival in the UK.

I'll give you some numbers about Brighton Pride : last year, during the summer festival, more than 120000 visitors visited this festival.

Indeed, many business organisations have become sponsors or partners to help Brighton Pride to be successful (such as the BBC, Metrobus, Barclays...)

You can buy membership for pride, it costs £15 pounds and it's reduced to £7.50 for the unemployed, students and those over 60.


To conclude, my article isn't an advert for the LGBT Pride! It's just some information about this subject because in France I have never seen this kind of festival.
