More diversity at Brighton Pride

Besi Besemar May 7, 2014

The clock is ticking towards Pride 2014 and the line-up of stars appearing on the Main Stage looks very promising.

Brighton Pride

Since its return last year the Brighton Pride Main Stage has proved to be a spectacular addition to Preston Park with its celebratory atmosphere and great line-up of music, speakers and guest hosts.

Many more acts will be announced in the coming weeks, but those confirmed so far include the ever handsome boy band Blue, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, the poptastic Neon Jungle, disco legend Martha Wash and the divine singer songwriter Heather Peace.

The award-winning Pride Festival at Preston Park continues to enjoy local and national acclaim while the Pride Main Stage compliments the day’s celebrations perfectly. Attractions this year include The Wild Fruit Dance Tent, the all-new Queer Stage, Legends Cabaret Tent, Girls Big Dance Tent, Calabash Tent, Men’s Area/Bears Tent, Funfair and Community Village alongside the Lunch Positive Cafe, MindOut area and a new Access tent delivered and organised by the LGBT Community Safety Forum.

Pride 2014 promises to be the most diverse ever, like no other the city has ever seen with even more diversity areas being confirmed in the next few weeks.

Pride Director Dulcie Weaver, said: “Brighton Pride is so much more than a one-day pop festival It is so much more than headline acts and main stage line-ups. It is a proud celebration of everything that is wonderful in our diverse and delightful LGBTQ community. It’s about having fun with friends and loved ones. It’s about visibility, equality, campaigning and fundraising for The Rainbow Fund as we join together as a community.

“Brighton Pride’s campaign theme for 2014 Freedom To Live encapsulates the true ethos of the festival. This Pride we will be free to walk hand in hand with those we love, on the streets where we live. So many across the globe are not so lucky. Brighton Pride is our opportunity to stand beside them, to make the connection and say loudly and proudly we all deserve the Freedom To Live.”
