About 10 years ago I lived in the Kemp Town area of Brighton.
As I worked in town I had to walk up St James Street everyday.
Anyone who knows Brighton that St James street is best described wretched hive of scum and villainy. Actually that's not true, it was a nice enough area of Brighton where many of the gay bars were. The problem was that you would get homophobic knobends turning up for a bit of gay bashing and I became quite accustomed to walking round pools of blood and crime tape on my way to work.

However one day I noticed the chalk outlines were different to the usual body shaped ones.
There was a line that started at 90º to each shop front and carried on for 30cm or so, then turned a right angle and carried along the front of the shop or bar and turned right again back to the wall. This then started again at the nextdoor shop, bar or whatever.
Inside each little box was something like : shopping place, eating place, drinking place, meeting lovely people place, ladies only place (lesbian bar).
This was down the whole length of St James Street and cheered up my morning walk.

I never understood the homophobic knobheads of Brighton
I used to live in Kemptown with two gay couples. I'm straight myself and have always wondered why the queer-bashers come out in force sometimes. they live in Brighton themselves, so you'd've thought the novelty wore off and they'd live and let live - I kno I've never been accosted against my will by the gayers*

Except in revenge, but that was my fault!

I know
A friend of mine got grief for walking through Brighton hand in hand with his boyfriend.

FFS Brighton, the homophobes must have got sore throats shouting at every other person.
