The theme has been chosen to reflect the expected passage of equal marriage legislation this summer.

Registration is now open for the Stonewall Brighton Equality Walk, which is due to take place on 5 May 2013.

The 10 kilometre walk, supported by American Express, raises funds for Stonewall’s Education for All programme, which helps schools tackle homophobia and support lesbian, gay and bisexual young people. Over 600 supporters took part in last year’s Walk, raising a record-breaking £70,000. Registration for this year’s event is open at www.equalitywalk.org.uk .
