Brighton’s Trans Pride March is the Largest in Europe and 12 Years Old

Trans Pride 2014 – New Steine Gardens
Brighton Trans Rights March 2025 – Trans Rights Are Human Rights – No Pride in Genocide
On Saturday I took part in Brighton’s twelfth Trans Pride march, the largest outside the United States. People said it was about the size of last year’s which was 40,000.

There is an interesting article in the Guardian from 2014 on the origin of the march which is pretty much unique to Brighton in Britain.

Unlike the ‘Big’ Pride it isn’t dominated by corporate and capitalist interests and is strongly political as can be gauged by the variety of different posters.

As we approached the clocktower where there were a few Zionist misfits with their Union Jacks and Swastikas, sorry Israeli flags, the chants turned to No Pride in Genocide and Free Palestine alongside Trans Rights are Human Rights.

The Zionists, a mixture of Christian and Jewish Zionists, all 6 of them had a problem. Some tried to pretend that Israel was gay friendly whereas the Christian bigots believe that Gays and anything other than strictly Heterosexual is an abomination.

The march, a circular one, ended up in Victoria Gardens. Below are some photos.
