Some good news for a Monday morning.

Feminists in Brighton have secured a place in the Brighton Pride parade to march for lesbian and bisexual visibility.

Excellent that same-sex attracted women can be proud and visible at Pride.

Allies are welcome to join too www.tickettailor.com/events/sisterssalon/1281981?

Are you sure that this is what you think it is? Will they actually be allowed to hold banners that proclaim their right to be same-sex attracted and not to have a bloke come to their speed-dating events because he wants to identify as a lesbian?

Good to see you again @SapphosRock. Well done with getting your place in Pride and good luck. From what I read here, Brighton needs Lesbian feminist voices shouted loud and proud.🙌✊️

Are you saying feminists want to be associated with Pride?! I'd run.

Lesbians and bisexual feminists and their allies? For sure. The very people Pride is supposed to celebrate.

There is no point moaning that Pride has little to do with homosexuality anymore without taking positive steps to change that.

Thank you! Yes it's strategically really positive for women in Brighton. GC lesbians and bisexual women can legitimately be proud and visible.

The TRAs in Brighton are noisy and hostile but there is absolutely nothing they can about lesbians proudly marching at Pride unless they really want to show their homophobia.

Good to hear. Wishing you all well. Brighton looks like such a hostile place for women right now.

It is very good news and I really hope all goes well.

Just me that finds this exciting then 😂

I think it's a really significant development that women who champion and uphold single sex spaces are able to participate in Pride.

That women in Brighton & Hove can celebrate their same-sex attraction rather than same gender attraction.

It's been 6 years since the Get the L Out protest and I think we've come a long way.
