10/08/2025 at 12:10 pmCame down from London with two of my best mates for my first ever Brighton Pride. We missed the parade (typical), but the vibes at the festival were unreal. So many amazing people, great music, and just this buzz of joy everywhere. Didn’t really know what to expect but felt weirdly at home the whole time. 10/10 would do again — already thinking about next year.
