Scene has always been more than a magazine. It started life in 1993 as a small four-page insert called The Queer Guide. Just two years later, it became Gscene, reflecting the evolving identity of our community and city. Today, we continue that legacy as Scene—a fresh name for a publication rooted in history, purpose, and pride.
From the very beginning, Scene has championed LGBTQ+ life in Brighton & Hove. In the 1990s, we fought for improved HIV services and supported Project Zorro, a community-led review that helped transform how HIV prevention was funded in the city. This helped to ignite Brighton’s LGBTQ+ voluntary sector, which had been overlooked for far too long.
Over the years, we’ve played a central role in major campaigns. In 2002, we supported the Anti Victimisation Initiative, which brought together local authorities and community groups to tackle hate crime, racism, and domestic abuse. In 2006, we helped secure the city’s first dedicated LGBT Police Liaison Officer, a milestone that helped rebuild trust with Sussex Police.
We believe Pride should be a force for good. Scene has been a consistent supporter of Brighton Pride’s journey into a major fundraising event for frontline LGBTQ+ services. In 2009, we helped launch the campaign to build Brighton’s AIDS Memorial, TAY, working alongside councillors and activists to bring it to life.
That same campaign laid the groundwork for the Rainbow Fund, which Scene helped to establish. Managed independently by the Sussex Community Foundation, the fund has since distributed more than £75,000 to grassroots LGBTQ+ groups across Brighton and Hove.
Scene is dedicated to telling the stories that matter. Through powerful journalism, community connection, and cultural celebration, we amplify LGBTQ+ voices and share them with honesty and heart. Whether we’re covering local news or lifting up queer artists, we remain committed to being a trusted voice at the centre of LGBTQ+ life.
