• First Brighton AIDS Memorial
  
  First attempt at creating a Brighton AIDS Day memorial In the mid-90s, legendary LGBT activist Arthur Law (RIP) led a campaign to have a HIV/AIDS memorial set into the pavement by the Old Steine war memorial. In those days Brighton & Hove Council were not the gay friendly pink £ chasing politicos we know today, and the proposal was roundly rejected. A few of us gathered with Arthur one day to see his design for the memorial which he’d painstakingly picked out using flowers. My memory is not what it was, so if you were there too and remember the date, please get in touch.
