Commenting, he said: “It was great day for Brighton & Hove and I was proud to walk alongside fellow supporters of gay rights. As well as supporting the parade, I am about to write to the Prime Minister about the inequality that exists for same-sex couples when it comes to marriage.
"I’m glad that it was such a successful weekend and I look forward taking part again next year.”
