Photos of Sussex Club members at Pride 1995. The Sussex Club was a members club, but also a social group, and in 1995 the club had a float at Pride. The theme for the float was 'sisters doing it for themselves' and alongside a Doc Martin boot, two large paper mache thumbs were made as a 'thumbs up' for women. However, causing some controversy the thumbs were as large as the float itself, and could be mistaken for phallic symbols from some angles.

The Sussex Club 1992-1995. A great space for women to meet and party. Down in the basement of 5 Regency Square, a private members only club, £1 for lifetime membership! Regular live music, free Space Invaders machine and a free Pool Table and bargain price beers!!! What more does a girl need?!?!

Having met in 1993 it took a while for the law to catch up with our love. We made the best of it - DIY wedding in 1997, Civil Partnership in 2008 but it wasn't until 2015 that we finally made it to equal marriage. But as all good queers should do, we made the most of the journey to equality. Celebrating with our chosen family, dancing and laughing - wedding hats not always optional.

Before social media or even the internet Freddie Bateman’s Scene 22 was the first port of call for any young queer soul rocking up wide-eyed and hopeful on Brighton’s shores. His cafe/shop /community hub Scene 22 on St James Street delivered every piece of information you could need about LGBTQI+ Brighton life via leaflets in every shape and size you could imagine. Helplines, support groups, club flyers, safer sex information, lubrication, love. Eyes were opened, blushes made, and lives changed. Thanks to a man with a mission to make LGBTQI+ Brighton better for everyone. Thanks to Freddie.
