Rainbow flags from the roofs of the town hall and police station and lighting up the Royal Pavilion Pink.

I'm all for a democratic and loving world but I don't see the need to go to these measures.

Everybody knows Brighton is the gay capital of the UK and those who are offended or outraged by the gay community are, in my view, blinkered and narrow minded for anything that promotes love, whatever your preference, should be supported.

Surely these actions will only give ammunition to the small minority of homophobes who still think gay-bashing is a sport?
