Pride London
Venue: London
Date: 2008-07-05 / Time: All Day
In the 35 years since Pride in London began the LGBT community has truly 'come out'. 2005 saw the introduction of Civil Partnerships for same sex couples and we have recently seen the end of other homophobic laws including Section 28.
Pride is fully inclusive and now embraces our growing acceptance in the world of politics, business, media and entertainment. However there is still a long way to go and Pride is committed to tackling issues including bullying, discrimination and homophobic abuse.
Pride London is now in its Fourth year as a registered charity. The organisation is run by volunteers. Our aim is to produce a highly professional Pride Festival and an annual Pride Day comprising a Parade through central London, a politically based Rally and free entertainment in central London. Our mission is also to raise awareness for the LGBT community.
Pride London NEVER charges the Public for any of the events on the Main Day which is this year 5th July 2008.
THIS YEARS THEME FOR PRIDE LONDON IS
"FAIRY TALES,- MYTH'S AND LEGENDS.
Brighton Pride
Venue: Brighton Seafront, City Centre & Preston Park
Date: 2008-08-02 / Time: All Day
Most of those that went to Brighton Pride 2007 said it was the best ever. London may be famous, but the city just carries on around the parade. Brighton pretty much comes to a standstill, and Preston Park could fit 20 Trafalgar Squares into it with ease!
Be there... its the event of the year!

Remember to invite all your LGBT & LGBT-friendly mates to this event.
I've been asked to remind you that Brighton Pride is a free to enter event - but they need money off people to make it stay that way - otherwise it will have to change.
Last year on the park they raised £20,000 - that means 17p per person. So they need your money to help
One way is to become a member of Pride for just £20 and that means you get access to all the luxurious toilets and members area on the day, with no queues!
