Gay Travel Guide to Brighton
Brighton is a coastal city on the English Channel that both exudes quintessential English seaside charm and is a queer bastion. The city is one of the three LGBTQ+ capitals of the U.K., alongside London and Manchester, and is considered one of the most liberal places in the country. Its politics are left, its people are fabulous, and its nightlife is a lot of fun. Even its iconic pier stretches out into the waves like an open invitation to all. Seagulls soar over the perpetually windy seafront, where gay couples sit on pebble-strewn beaches, huddled together as they romantically tuck into a bag of England’s trademark fish and chips; strolling through the city’s winding streets will take you past vintage shops, hipster cafes, lively bars, and cozy English pubs, where old-school British drag queens hold court for a crowd of LGBTQ+ folk and their straight allies, enjoying a pint—or six!
