These photographs are of Brighton Gay Pride 2003, one of the biggest Pride events in the UK. Photos include many of the parade, plus Preston Park etc.
The first one is not taken by me (yep thats me in it), but the rest are all my own work. Unlike about 99% of my photography these ones were taken with a film based camera (an old manual Pentax SLR). Every year there is a theme and for 2003 it was "The Greatest show on Earth". 2003 the weather was beautiful and we all had a great time at Preston Park, but in 2002 we were ankle deep in mud so we did not stay for long!
"In an ideal world there would be no need for events like Brighton Gay Pride, as everybody would be accepted and everybody Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered or even just Straight would all be treated as equals. Until that time events this help raise awareness and also give people the chance to be themselves and be proud to be whatever they are. When it comes to sexuality I believe anything consenting adults do together, that does not harm anybody else is fine with me." - Dean
