British comedian Zoe Lyons will host Stonewall's Brighton Equality Walk, which is entering into its 10th year, and has so far raised almost £400,000 ($600,000 €460,000) over the last decade.
Gay Star News was the 100th participant to sign-up for the event this year, which will take place on 5 May.
The openly lesbian TV personality takes the helm of the event which fights anti-gay bullying in schools.
Lyons said in a statement: 'It's 2013 - anti-gay bullying in schools just shouldn't be happening.
