It might seem like a step forward when advertisers want to appeal to a historically marginalised community, but the use of the LGBT rainbow flag by companies and organisations has become a bone of contention. If an investment company changes its logo to a rainbow background is that a genuine attempt to support LGBT rights, or a cynical marketing ploy? In short, is it rainbow washing? Jamie Love, marketing director of Edinburgh Pride tells us how potential event sponsors are vetted, plus Leticia King James who's the vice president of diversity inclusion and belonging at logistics giant GXO explains why her company is sponsoring small, regional Pride events. We also hear from Kathy Caton, founder of Brighton Gin who explains why a 365 day commitment to diversity is vital for companies marketing to the LGBT community. Julia Smith-Eppsteiner, a senior strategist at branding company Future Brand explains how accusations of rainbow washing can be avoided and Paul Thompson, co-owner of LGBT Capital explains just how lucrative the LGBT market is.

We talk to Kathy Caton, founder and Managing Director of Brighton Gin about her company's journey, the fantastically supportive community of businesses in Sussex, and her dream to sell Brighton Gin in all of the other 48 Brightons dotted around the world.
Brighton is generally accepted as the ‘queer capital’ of the UK, with an estimated 15% of all adults identifying as gay, lesbian or bisexual, and a thriving queer scene. That’s part of the reason it was such a shock when lesbian bar, The Princess Victoria (otherwise known as The PV), closed its doors. I caught up with radio presenter (and founder of Brighton Gin!) Kathy Caton to discuss the beloved bar, her first days in Brighton, and getting kicked out for disorderly behaviour!
Brighton Gin may have started off as a small producer, but after winning UK's Best Gin at the People's Drink awards they will soon be taking the world by storm. Today we head down south to Brighton. A city that needed its own gin and our guest today, Kathy Caton, was just the woman for the job. The Mulled Gin as our cocktail of the week. One whole orange sliced 350ml Brighton Gin 700ml apple juice 100ml red vermouth 25ml cherry brandy The juice of 2 limes 2 cinnamon sticks Add all the ingredients into a saucepan on the hob. Heat it up but don’t let the mixture boil. Pour the hot mixture into a glass (not a thin one or it might crack), and pop in a cinnamon stick!
