Brighton Pride’s first ever ‘Ambassador’ has been chosen to march at the front of this year’s community parade.
Danny Dwyer, the organiser of Bear- Patrol, received the most nominations in the first selection round. Bear-Patrol is a social networking group for bears and their friends and in the short time they have existed have raised close to £50,000 for the Sussex Beacon and local good causes.
Pride’s second Ambassador will be announced in the June Gscene.
