Trans Pride Brighton in 12 beautiful images
More than 30,000 people turned out on Saturday (15 July) for Trans Pride Brighton's biggest event yet.
Trans Pride Brighton celebrated its tenth anniversary over the weekend with its biggest turnout ever.
More than 30,000 people are estimated to have shown up in solidarity with trans people in a stunning display of love.
Attitude attended and captured these 12 beautiful images that demonstrate the trans power, love, and joy felt throughout the city.
Taking place on Saturday (15 July) proceedings had to change due to “extreme weather conditions.” This meant events due to be held at Brunswick Square were held in various venues around central Brighton. This also impacted the march route.
“It’s still our 10 year anniversary,” Trans Pride Brighton tweeted explaining the issues. “So let’s make this year one to remember despite the weather!”
A fire at the Royal Albion hotel on Saturday also meant the planned beach party on Sunday had to be cancelled. Trans Pride also offered to help relocate anyone affected by the fire in which no one was injured.
“It’s a triumph of cooperation and community”
Attitude recently honoured one of the event’s organisers, Sarah Savage, at the 2023 Attitude Pride Awards, in association with Magnum.
“It’s a triumph of cooperation and community,” Sarah told us of Trans Pride Brighton which started in 2013.
“Being able to have a Trans Pride event when I was young would’ve been life-changing. Creating a moment where someone feels so accepted and loved is magical and can’t be beat. That’s why Trans Pride should be in every city around the country.”
