Brighton is the perfect seaside town to visit during the summer months and hosts the best British Pride. The city based on the south coast of the UK boasts a mega-pebbled beach, an idyllic town centre and one of the largest European gay communities. Brighton's beach has recently been awarded a blue flag.

Much can be said about Brighton; it has history, charm and most of all personality. It has one of the biggest attendances for gay pride that is probably the most family orientated Pride in the UK.

The area goes by Brighton and Hove to form a combined city and has been popular with visitors since the inception of the railway in the 1840's. The town hosts three major landmarks; the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pier and the now burnt-out West Pier.

Brighton beach has a designated official nudist area (south of the easterly part of Kemptown). This is unusual in that very few naturist beaches in the United Kingdom are located within urban areas.

The town is home to performances to the UK’s best bands and is the centre of British politics once a year as part of its extensive conference programme.

Brighton Pride is a carnival style parade through the city and a party and funfair in Preston Park. There is also a "Winter Pride" in February each year.

Brighton still has many traditional English mannerisms especially with its quaint shopping quarter, seaside Fish and Chip shops and delcate gardens but it has much more lurking behind its majestic front.

The city is casual and relaxed with an extremely welcoming air, easy to get around you will feel at home as soon as you land here. There are gay venues spread out across the town but the main bulk can be found by Brighton Pier.

There is always something going on at the weekends and lends itself to a lively yet relaxing break. Brighton however can be miserable in Winter with the rain and strong wind from the sea and it is very quiet Monday-Thursday.

Brighton is someway ahead of the UK, even London for equality. The city hosts one of the largest gay prides with the biggest turn out from the local community. Locals turn up en-masse to celebrate with its LGBT neighbours and attend the big fan-fair at Preston Park.

Recently, the council has banned all music that incites hate; i.e musicians like Elephant Man and Buju Banton will no longer tolerate such artists. Mainly affecting dancehall reggae stars that often through their lyrics advocate the killing of gays will no longer have a place in the town.

It is home to Civil Partnership, gay families and the rest of UK law.
