Brighton Pride 2017 – Best Places to Stop for a Drink

Small pride flags for saleBrighton Pride is one of the largest LGBT celebrations around today. Held in the beautiful and diverse city of Brighton & Hove and last year had crowds of around 300k people!

The Gay You’ve Pulled team are based in Brighton so we’ve compiled a list of good drinking holes to enjoy along the way. There are so many good places to visit in Brighton and Hove so we’ve put down our top 8 suggestions along the parade route. Enjoy!

The Brunswick – Perfect place to meet at the start of the Parade by Hove Lawns. Large beer garden, serves BBQ style food.

The Cocktail Shack – For something a little different and slightly off the beaten track, head to The Cocktail Shack on Regency Square and try some of their innovative cocktails. We can recommend the ‘Getting Figgy With It’ cocktail to get you in the mood.

Fortune of War – Hey…you’re in Brighton so you need to at least pop down to the sea once. Located right on the beach, Fortune of War is the oldest seafront pub offering a huge beer garden (Brighton beach!) and inside is curiously shaped like an upside down boat!

The Victory – Escape the tacky pubs of West Street and head to one of the city’s oldest pubs with many of the original features. Just round the corner from the main parade route, this is a perfect place to pause for a drink or two.

The Bulldog – When in Brighton you must pay your respects to The Bulldog – Brighton’s premier gay bar since 1979! Located in the heart of the Pride Village Party, The Bulldog is predominantly a gay man’s venue, however all are welcome.

Pride Pleasure Gardens @ Victoria Gardens – There are shows and entertainment galore in the Pleasure Gardens with plenty of food stalls to tickle your taste buds and bars to quench your thirst. Entry is free to Pride Festival ticket holders.

Hobgoblin – With a beer garden and excellent menu, The Hobgoblin is a great place to recharge after dancing your way through the parade or partying hard at the festival!

The Joker – Choose Love Pride Party – One of the best places to party in the street and enjoy the parade before heading into the park. They’ll have a DJ and it’ll be busy!

Have a great Brighton Pride 2017!

Gay Chat Lines and Dating

Gay chat lines are presently one of the most preferred forms of online dating for gay people, because they have helped many guys find the partners of their dreams. These chat lines are telephone services that enable hundreds or thousands of gay people to communicate with one another, giving them an endless stream of potential partners to choose from. If you are looking for the perfect gay partner, joining a gay chat line may be the perfect solution for you. Here are some of the benefits of using gay chat lines:

Gay chat lines give you the opportunity to communicate with many gay people who have the same intention as you, that is, to look for romantic partners. Every member of a chat line has a profile, which includes information such as location, age, ethnicity, and interests. Most of them also have photos of themselves in their profiles, so you will know how they look. You can also use a search tool to narrow down your options, so that you can find members who are more compatible with you. This makes it very easy for you to find a suitable partner.

If you are a shy person or you fear rejection, the traditional way of meeting potential love interests, such as approaching gay people in local bars, may seem awkward or stressful to you. Even if you have enough courage to strike up a conversation with a stranger, you may say the wrong things and end up embarrassing yourself. Conversing with gay people on gay chat lines allows you to achieve a certain level of comfort with potential partners first before you meet them face-to-face. Since you have already communicated with them for some time, you will not feel so self-conscious when you finally meet them. Therefore, you can just be yourself and let your personality shine through.

Another advantage of using gay chat lines is that you can get to know your potential love interests before you meet them in person. This will ensure that you will not waste time, effort, and money on relationships that are bound to fail. By communicating with someone over the phone, you can judge his personality and determine compatibility more accurately. As such, you will be able to tell whether or not you will have a happy relationship with him.

Also, joining gay chat lines is a discreet way to look for gay partners. If you do not want other people to know about your endeavors to find potential dates, you do not have to reveal your true identity. You can remain anonymous by using a fake name instead of your real name. By doing so, you can also protect yourself against scammers and avoid unwanted contacts. Reveal your true identity only to people you can trust.

With so many gay chat lines on the Internet, it is very easy for you to find suitable gay partners or friends. Just search for chat lines that suit your preferences and start dating.
