A speech for our Dyke Pride times

When I came out in 1987, my mum’s reaction was, at least you get to wear sensible shoes. I turned up in Brighton in 1990. All shaved head and Doc Martens and big brown eyes. I did what any baby dyke would do arriving in a new city. I slapped it about a bit. I fell in love with house music. I swam in the … Continue reading A speech for our Dyke Pride times

Brighton Pride 2025

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

Shameless Hussies: Badged and blushing

Considering I spent the majority of my early twenties unable to banish the blush, these Shameless Hussies badges were asking for it. Fuelled by that **** you in your face dykeness that made me that shaved-head sass pot that I was, keeping the massage homegrown and unapologetic was the only way to do things back in 1992. Back then us queers had a badge for … Continue reading Shameless Hussies: Badged and blushing
