Rainforest Alliance Fundraiser

The rainforests are the lungs of our planet. Without them, there is no future. Without them, we have no hope of halting climate catastrophe. Our planet will suffocate. Its that simple. Unfortunately the solution to the deforestation and murder of our rainforests by corporations greedy for land and profit, regardless of the cost to our world, is not simple. But as we watched the latest … Continue reading Rainforest Alliance Fundraiser

Always happy to put their hands up for some disco action Wildblood and Queenie are bringing the Decent back to the dancefloor with the first in a series of fundraising parties in Brighton.

A heart beating to most … Continue reading Decent at The Tempest Inn

Brighton Pride : We Stand Together

Today I walked down the high street of Brighton and was greeted by nothing but rainbows. Every balcony, every business, every window adorned it seemed with my tribes’ colours. And I rejoiced. Even this cynical soul couldn’t stop the grin. Because those rainbows, displayed by the allies and supporters of my LGBTQ+ community are helping us create a change that can’t be challenged. Because twenty-nine … Continue reading Brighton Pride : We Stand Together

Give 5 for Pride

Time for me to get on my (h)omo soapbox.  Time to talk fundraising this Brighton Pride weekend. We all know things out there aren’t as rosy and liberated as we’d like them to be 50 years since the Stonewall riots. This sadly makes fundraising for local LGBTQI charities vitally important. With a Boris lead Tory government leaning a little too right for comfort and austerity still … Continue reading Give 5 for Pride

Condemnation must become a convictions

What is so shocking about this latest attack is we’re not shocked. Let’s be honest here, most LGBTQI members of our community know that regardless of pledges made, policies changed or statements issued by politicians, authorities and services we are all likely to face such violence at some point in our lives. I’ve been queer bashed twice in Brighton over the years and I’ve stood … Continue reading Condemnation must become a convictions

Perfect Distraction: Let Nature Sing

I’m addicted to vinyl, am nothing without strings or a bass line and find a day without radio a day not worth being part of. And yet above all of this, there in the sky and in the trees and by the sea and the rivers is the most important song of my life. Birdsong. A soundscape I cannot imagine being without, an accompaniment to … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Let Nature Sing
