Heterosexuals pass on the HIV virus more than homosexuals now.
You mean that WH Smith would have taken over a million quid from CRAYON SALES?
For those of you that missed the amateur effort that is Brighton Pride, you are all welcome to attend Manchester Pride on August 15-25
http://www.manchesterpride.com/
A celebration of diversity, music, theatre, rimming, dance and art.............and far less of a nightmare to deal with than Rangers football fans.

Went down the road and watched the parade yesterday at St Peters Church and it always makes me proud to be from Brighton. I work all over the country and I am so proud to come from such a welcoming and tolerant town.
I Had a great time watching the diverse amount of floats, Army, clubs, bus drivers, religions, radio stations, lots of clubs caravaning to dancing. A great amount of effort goes into making it a great day out for so many people.
I was suprised that the best float (loudest soundsystem and best attended) was the Tory partys, put the green and labours budgets to shame. I loved the slogans I'm coming out....I'm a Tory as opposed to I'll never kiss a Tory from the labour group. Amex and companys all seeing its the place to be.
I try and attend as much as possible and I have never seen it so busy and so well organsied. Every pub was rammed and every foot of the route was taken up with people watching.
Brilliant day, some people on here should stop moaning and get on down for what is free party, young and old a hundred or so thousand people and no trouble.

Save yourself the trouble Horton, safe to say that it is pretty much split down the middle into two distinct camps...those who are happy to see pride in the city and those who aren't...perhaps that could be simplified as the yes camp and no camp!!!

I love it, the club should be much more proactive in getting all the local comunity involved, like Brighton Races have done.

Its one day of the year, i really cannot understand the hatred towards Pride. I mean look at the Withdean residents who hated the fact that we would be playing there every other week, yet we'd be up in arms if the council suddenly turned round and banned us from going there and the club from playing simply because of the noise, litter, disgusting scenes of celebration or irateness depending on the result of a match. To all Brighton fans on here they are of course NIMBY's, intolerant and don't understand that cultural make-up of Brighton and Hove, but of course the shoe is on the other foot for some of you now. Massive double standards!
So you don't like Pride. I accept that, i accept the reasons that you don't like it, but give it a rest. I love Pride, have a bloody good day/weekend out and about partying to the small hours and not once feeling intimidated by aggressive mobs of pissheads that you generally see on West Street of a weekend.
Pride is just that. I celebrate the fact that i can live in this country and be me, wholey and completely. I can love the person of my choice and not live in fear that i'll be arrested or imprisoned simply for having a different sexual orientation. Pride celebrates that, Pride celebrates that Brighton and Hove is one of the most tolerant, inclusive communities out there that embraces equality. Ok so that's a little utopian, there are a lot of problems out there still, a lot of intolerance, assaults, bigotry as this thread clearly shows.
The argument about why should the LGBT community need to flaunt their sexuality around for all to see doesn't hold water either. Its because of the history of the policy towards homosexuality in this country that it was needed. It became a focal point and i suppose a protest against the suppression of our rights, which the average heterosexual joe takes for granted. Now this might seem ancient history to many, but you only have to look back to Thatcher's Section 28 in 1988 to realise how close to home this is to many of us. This was only repealed in 2003.
Now this country is evolving and becoming more accepting of the Gay community, but there is still a hell of a lot of work to do. Im not forcing my sexuality on anyone, i'm celebrating the fact that i can express my rights and freedoms as a gay man. Pride is evolving aswell. The days of a protest march are fading. Pride is now more about the tolerance and inclusivity of a community and having a bloody good time. The amount of families that were out and about yesterday having a great time enjoying the feel good factor about Pride was amazing to see.
I sit here in great sadness reading some of the shite posted on here. When we're at footy matches and the gay chants start, loads and loads of Brighton fans love to give as good as they get and sing "you're to ugly to be gay!", yet that only suits you some of the time. When it actually comes to the reality of the matter you'd quite happily sit there and type your vitriolic hatred against certain sections of Albion fans aswell, me being amongst them. The "i'm not anti-gay, i'm anti pride" argument is a poor one. The use of the terms such as, poofs, queers, faggots is all to prevalent and all encompassing not just only on this thread, but many others, just look at the title for a start.
I know there's a lot of trolls on this board who love to dribble nonsense on a thread hoping for a bite, but sometimes you just can't sit there and say nothing. I am also mightily impressed by those on this thread who embrace Pride for the good time it is. Cheers lads and lasses.

Do you have any evidence at all for this assertion?

If the majority of people were gay then the human race would die out.

In the cabaret tent yesterday there must've been a couple of ladies who were definitely into their 80's having a fantastic time and had been together for the vast majority of their lives. What they must've seen and gone through to be simply with the person they love summed up the whole day for me. Great day/weekend and long may it continue.

I think you will find that the percentage of HIV victims suggests that it is still a faggot disease.
