The Mayor of Brighton & Hove, Councillor Mo Marsh officially opened the 2018 B RIGHT ON LGBT Community Festival last night (February 16) celebrating Brighton’s contribution to LGBT History Month.
I was glad to see Gscene report a further batch of tickets for Brighton Pride will go on sale on Monday morning exclusively for BN residents.I’ve been concerned about some of the negative comments on social media about Pride and wanted to say ‘Thank you’ to Brighton Pride for its ongoing and increasing support to the Rainbow Fund who then distribute much-needed funds to LGBT+ groups and organisations to provide local services.
A huge thank you to Gscene, James Ledward, the Golden Handbag Awards and everyone who sent in a citation to nominate me for a Lifetime Achievement Award for services to the LGBT+ Communities at this years Golden Handbag Show.
I have to remind myself that this diverse and inclusive singing group is an amateur non – audition choir where some members can’t read music. That makes their latest concert all the more remarkable because they opened the event with a beautiful and sensitive rendition of the phenomenally tricky Faure Requiem.
For the first time this year I asked LGBT+ groups and organisations to nominate someone who they felt deserved a special award at Golden Handbags 2017. I was personally thrilled to present Finola Brophy with a Gscene Lifetime Achievement Award for her services to equality and LGBT+ people in the city.
