As part of our #LGBTQHistoryMonth series, we’re sharing some images contributed to our archive about the fight against Section 28 in #Brighton.
🧵 Section 28 was a piece of legislation included in the Local Government Act 1988 that prohibited local authorities from “promoting” homosexuality.

![The group at this part of the protest has different banners that can be read more easily; the shot is taken from the middle of the group, rather than the side. Small placards feature an upside-down pink triangle and small black text. A black banner at the back reads “Brighton and Hove CND: Give Peace [a chance]”. The “Fight 28” banner is clearer, and features red text painted on white fabric. To the left at the back of the group is a “University of Sussex Lesbian [and Gay] Society” banner, also featuring an upside down pink triangle.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yiqounuwiaywslamxd7766j7/bafkreiekpd6pyaqtbi4bsxcr4rj5wdezl4gap4cb2udh7ms5qv3u7ecxtu@jpeg)
