We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but gay Key West is ALMOST no more. For more than 60 years, Key West was one of the major gay meccas in the United States. Thousands and thousands of gays and lesbians trekked down to Key West every year, many of them several times a year. There were dozens of gay resorts and gay B & Bs. The whole town was either gay or extremely gay-friendly. Drag queens, leather guys and gals, wannabe cowboys and cowgirls could walk down the streets hand in hand and did! There were always lots of gay bars open till all hours of the morning. Gay artists, writers, composers and entertainers purchased second homes there. It was always just a fun place to get away to, where people could just be themselves without having to ever look over their shoulders. We have been there several times, and it was always a very fun and exciting experience.
