Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society (BLAGSS) was founded in 1997 to address the sporting and social needs of the gay and lesbian community of Brighton and Hove. Membership is open to all, however the vast majority of our members are either Gay or Lesbian and join to be with like minded company.

With over 300 members, and growing each year, Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society is the area’s largest not for profit organisation of its kind. It organises year-round sports and social activities within a friendly and supportive structure. Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society operates as an umbrella group for various specific sport sub-groups who co-ordinate their own activities. Occasional social events are set up across the entire membership.

BLAGSS offer regular meetings for most of the sports listed in the menu bar of this site, and others are sometimes scheduled.

We encourage our members to network with each other to launch new sports groups. Members can also contact each other individually to pursue 'fringe' sporting activities and can advertise their interests to other logged in members via this website if they choose.
