Stonewall Equality Walk...
review
Finally, it was here - and the weather was perfect! A gathering of several hundred walkers, including Sir Ian McKellan, Sue Perkins, Simon Fanshawe and our own David Panter (Chief Executive of Brighton & Hove).
The walk started from the Peace Statue in Hove, along the seafront to the King Alfred Centre, then doubling back - past the burning Essex flesh on the beach to the Palace Pier, stopping for a few beers at Charles Street, Amsterdam or Legends (a few not materialising again). Then up to Sussex Square (where a few short cuts were apparently made) and down through Kemptown and St James' Street to the Pavilion and the glorious beer tent in the gardens. Phew!

The Afterparty...

...after the walk, a party upstairs at Envy. One or two glasses of kindly donated bubbly helped to sooth corns and bunions.

The Walk...
photos by James Brooks
It was rather odd, but rather good that it was just a stroll. No fanfares, placards or gathered crowds to watch the spectacle. Although a map was provided, the route proved to be a bit hit-or-miss. We lost Sue Parkins altogether and think that she may still be wandering aimlessly around Worthing...

The Big Bright Yellow Sun

Scorching sun, clean, crisp seaside air and plenty of good cheer made the afternoon a special one for everyone who took part.

about Stonewall
|
While politics and community issues may seem like a distraction to partying the night away, lunching with friends or shopping for the latest designer gear, it is, nevertheless, imperative that everyone in the UK – gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or straight, makes time for an organisation such as Stonewall.
