Pride & Falmer

[clippedgull]

I have just been to a committee meeting in our block where a gay resident was complaining about the noise in St James Street last night by Spanish students celebrating the World Cup win.

We got onto talking about Prides street party and the noise which us residents have to endure every year for a whole weekend.

I mentioned that the football club and Pride were negotiating regarding the big kick off at Falmer and the possible movement of Pride to a different weekend as a one off. Well, he went nuclear! How dare a tin pot club that was bankrupt dictate to Pride who bring millions into the city each year. I pointed out that Pride was only going ahead due to the gay-friendly council loaning Pride money. I'm now being reported to the LGBTS local copper for homophobic comments! This, even though my next door neighbour is gay and has been a friend for 14 years!

Anyway, not sure how true this is, but a petition is going to be passed around at this years Pride threatening to move Pride to another area on the South Coast if agreement is reached to favour football over Pride next year.

I though Pride (Brighton) is/was on the verge of liquidation anyway!


*awaiting a dawn raid by the LGBTS task force!

move to another place on the south coast, okay, where? Leaving Brighton out, that would give you, what? Portsmouth and Southampton? and they're REALLY well known for their LGBT community.

im sure the grown ups involved in Pride will not take any heed, hardly fits "not prejudice" tag line does it. the vast majority of tourists who come down for the events will not notice much less give a toss which week its on.

a dawn raid by LGBTS horde sounds liek it could be fun

Quite. Although I don't want to be held down and taken against my will. I will tell the officer "I will come quietly" if he so allows.

It would be so much better if it wasn't in the football season anyway

 

[jimmypbha]

f*** 'em.










oh.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

That's a bit of a bugger.

Still, let 'em go elsewhere. After all, how many of them are of local origin?

agreed

it's not one thing vs the other, both the albion and pride are significant parts of brighton's culture. but why couldn't pride be a week earleir, what's the problem with that.

the idea of pride going elsewhere is laughable. they may as well say let's not have it and just haver london pride.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Aren't pride looking at alternative weekends which makes this whole argument moot (presuming they decide upon one- which should be easy because nothing dictates when it should be?).

If any petition is passed around I can guarantee you it will not be an official one from the Pride Trust. You're worrying over nothing.
