10 Marine Parade matters. A building filled with love and emotions and the best of people, its basslines and disco high hats have kept us safe and dancing for as long as Queenie and I can remember. A building at the heart of the queer community that has always delivered the goods – be it Brighton Pride weekend, Horse Meat Disco, DTPM, Brighton Gay Dance … Continue reading 10 years of Patterns: Brighton’s must-dance disco deviant
We’ve been marching beside each other at Brighton Pride since 1993. Syncing Docs and demanding equality hand in hand, one placard at a time. Fighting against Clause 28, for equal health care and workplace protections during the AIDS crisis, kicking back against Tory bigoted mandates, campaigning for parenting rights, the equal age of consent, the right to serve, for gender recognition, for our never pretending … Continue reading Brighton Pride 2025

When my missus does something she does it right. The right way. And for the right reasons. So even when life knocks her down she gets back up the right way. The Ouch House Diaries were my missus way of getting back up right again. One day at a time. With pen and ink. And that’s why I’m so proud of her latest achievement.
