Brighton Pride: Out Of Their Minds

Just two weeks to go until Brighton Pride weekend.
When Fagburn sees things like this quite dreadful amateurish poster for the "official" gay-for-pay event, I start thinking that there must be some "Springtime For Hitler" thinking behind it all.
Are the organisers deliberately trying to put on a Pride event so awful that no-one will go?
Seems to be working - I understand tickets are still sticking to the shelves.
In an act of what looks like desperation they've now just announced a new headline act, Alexandra Burke from off X Factor.
She's now headlining over the previous headliner, Joe McElderry from off X Factor.
Well woopy-fucking-doo!
Are the organisers unaware that a few years ago Brighton Pride decided to ditch the live stage after a survey showed no-one gave a flying fuck about it and its cavalcade of hopeless hasbeens and never-will-bes?
See you at the alternative Brighton Community Pride party on the beach - we'll make our own entertainment, thank you.

Update: 'Loud music and barbecue ban for beach party follows controvesy surrounding police and council's heavy handed tactics to attempt to stop Beach Picnic during Pride' Gscene.

Update 2: 'Thousands attend beach party...' GScene.

  1. I'm not sure if I want to go to either of these, is it worth it?

  2. Last year's official event was depressing and boring enough.
    Looking forward to the beach.
