The Pride in Brighton & Hove trustees are inviting all members of the local community to this year's 4th annual Pride feedback event, which will take place between 6pm and 8pm, Tuesday October 6 at the Queens Hotels, Kings Road, Brighton.

The trustees of Pride in Brighton and Hove are committed to a fundamental review of what Pride does and how it does it. As part of this process they will address some of the pressing core questions, including:

Do we still need Pride....at all?
Why not make the Pride park and parade event for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans people only?
What is the place of Pride in speaking to LGBT people?
What is the place of Pride in educating non LGBT people?
Why doesn't Pride charge for the park?
Is Pride in Brighton & Hove a party or a statement...or both?
Do we need winter Pride?
Do we need a Festival Week of events for summer Pride?
Should Pride be scaled down?
How would you ‘scale down’ Pride in Brighton & Hove?
What would you take off the park if it came to it?
Why be a member of Pride?
How can Pride raise money from those who come to the park/parade?
Should Pride use bucket collectors?
Should Pride charge for entry?
How can businesses be encouraged/made to give to Pride when they benefit financially from the event?
What should memberships offer for people to sign up?
Should there be an entry charge for certain tents?
Why do the food stalls charge so much? Does Pride get any of this income?
