The Mayor of Brighton and Hove, Cllr Dee Simson attends Bar Broadway for event in support of Royal British Legion.
THE event on Tuesday, July 31 was organised by Susan Coleman, Staff Champion for LGBT+ and Allies liaison for The Royal British Legion and hosted by Candi Rell.
The evening featured author Elaine Chambers, who was booted out of the armed forces for “unnatural conduct”. Elaine gave a fascinating talk about her coming book Queer Angel followed by CPO Ann Miller-McCaffrey from the Armed Forces Diversity Engagement Team at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst who talked about how the armed forces are supporting LGBT+ personnel serving in the forces today.
Entertainment was provided by the Regency Singers and a lovely buffet was served by Bar Broadway.
Susan Coleman is well-known on the LGBT+ scene locally and has been instrumental in pushing for an LGBTQ & Allies Branch of the Royal British Legion. A formation meeting is taking place at 2pm on Saturday, September 15 at the Royal British Legion Pop in Centre, 100-101 Queens Rd, Brighton BN1 3XF.
