For a sixth consecutive year, the University of Sussex was a proud partner of this year’s Brighton & Hove Pride event on Saturday 5 August.

This year marks 50 years since the first ‘Brighton Gay Pride March’, which was organised by the Sussex Gay Liberation Front, an organisation comprised of students and staff from the University of Sussex, along with LGBT people from the area.

This year, the University sponsored an open top bus to support those in the community unable to walk for all or part of the duration of the parade. The bus had 33 allocated seats and University staff and students who opted to take the bus were joined by other members of the Brighton & Hove community who applied for a spot.
