Brighton Pride hailed as an “overwhelming success” (From The Argus)

I'm all for live & let live, but let us not forget that people aren't MADE hetero, it's a lifestyle choice. I expect my comments will be torn apart by "straight rights" activists, but someone needs to make a stand. I mean, whatever next - men being allowed to marry women, in church? The mind boggles.

You've got to be joking !! I took my 11 month year old daughter into the fenced-off playground in Preston Park at 11.00 this morning and found it awash with beer cans, bottles, food wrappers, fag ends and all kinds of rubbish. It was absolutely disgusting as was the all the tree lined woods between the playground and Preston Park Avenue where there was discarded underwear, abandoned clothes, empty bottles and cans and several tents still occupied with revelers. Since when has Preston Park become a camp site for socially maladjusted deviants and sexual perverts.
The sooner Pride is banned by Brighton Council the better. The name itself is a misnomer. What is there to be proud of ? Its a festival for a minority fringe of freaks.

What happened was disgraceful. No surprise it's not reported in the Argus.

Success for organisers ,charges were way over top £4 for a can. The parade was rubbish. Not one gay venue from Brighton had a float.

As a gay man I am appalled at how Brighton pride is once again lining the pockets of business. Only £1 from ticket sales is going to charity so don't believe the headlines. I will not support pride again.

As I left the park at about 8pm large groups of teenagers had set up camp on bowling greens and other areas of the park and were throwing their own party.
They clearly had not gone into the park and were not there to celebrate Pride but were having their own parties.
A group of about five coppers passed me and looked at the kids but not one of them asked these kids to move off the greens which has signs up saying 'keep off the bowling greens'.
These are not real Pride-goers but groups of teenagers who don't want to pay the money to get in the park and are not really interested in Pride, but want to hang around the edges and have their own little boozy party.
These are the same types of teenagers you see sitting on the beach on a Saturday getting tanked up and who then stand up and just walk away from all their rubbish.
The Pride organisers need to manage these hangers-on before they de-rail the event's reputation.

I just hope your child does not turn out to be gay as we are not freaks its because of parents like you that so many young people commit suiside.

You disgust me. It's people like you that need to leave Brighton. It amazes me that someone can post such a homophobic hate online. So what? You have a child... It was hardly difficult to lie on your back for 5 mins to produce one... Brighton is so full of opinionated self-righteous parents that think the world owes them a living. Do us all a favor & move to Lancing (that's where all your sort go eventually isn't it?)

A quick Google search reveals all we need to know about Fratsomer: a rabid football fan, and a PE teacher. Now, we all know that PE teachers are a minority fringe of freaks who want their sick "hobby" to be seen as legitimate - so Fratty, the only question which needs clarifying is, did you become one so you could touch little girls, or so you could touch little boys?

That wouldn't be allowed because it would dwarf the gay festival and put it into perspective. I can't see Brighton Council flying a flag depicting a penis inserted into a vagina quite yet!

Why do PE teachers always say they once had trials for this club or that club or played in the under 21 side in 1972.
Most seem to be failed athletes of some sort and looking at the style of young peoples health today and physical fitness they are failures at teaching too.
Get back in the changing room frats boy or hanging out in children's playgrounds. Weird to say the least.
Oh and when you are on the north stand chat room as your colleagues to take a slash before leaving the ground. Dirty devils.

We can definately do without pride, congratulations on being gay feel free to congratulate me on being straight....your sexual choice doesnt offend me and I hope mine doesnt you....we all live in brighton which accepts everybody and therefore you can celebrate your sexuallity anyday throughout the year we dont need this elborate, extravgent, extrovert & sometimes boderline obscene weekend do we? Brighton recognises the rights of homosexuals we dont need 200,000 visitors ramming the point home

You came onto this site with what may have been a genuine gripe about mess.
However, instead of just griping about
Mess, you made homophobic
Remarks which is just plain silly.
Some people are filthy pigs. They come in all genders, sexuality, race, colour etc
However, your posting seemed to be an underhand way of expressing your homophobia which is
Concerning if you are a teacher.
People are people. They may be gay or straight, they may teach PE or like
Ballet, but human behaviour is
Not defined by sexuality.
If you hate gays be brave and say it
If you hate dirty people then say it
But the two are not linked in the same
Way that not all Albion fans are
Dirty pigs who urinate outside my home after a match or park their car on the grass in wild park.
Think before you type. You are a teacher and a leader not a follower. Lead don't be lead.

You sir are heterophobic!
Your heterophobic attitude offends me.
Please justify your comments please, I have already reported your post as offensive.
You comments and attitude to us straight life giving people is on par of homophobia.
Children are easily influenced I agree,
But shoving transexuals and homosexuality in there faces is not right as they may see it as the norm
And believe it's socially acceptable at a young age, I would be worried if my son put on my girlfriends underwear and said I'm a transvestite because they saw it this weekend.
And you think being normal( straight)
Is a decision; you sir, are a twisted individual.
I will not let my child be influenced by your morale fibres.
