Saturday 23rd October will be the second international day against hate crime. This year, with the theme Uniting Communities Against Hate Crime, there will be a vigil at the Old Steine fountain from 7-9pm, with a two-minute silence to commemorate those who have been the victims of hate crime. Hosted this year by the Brighton and Hove LGBT Switchboard, manager Elizabeth Noble said that ” Hate, in all its forms, is a blight on our city and will only stop when people from across our LGBT communities and beyond stand together and say ‘No’ to those who try to scare, hurt and divide us. This vigil is a unique opportunity for everyone who loves Brighton & Hove to stand together against hate.’
