It comes as no surprise that Key West <\/strong>is one of the top LGBTQ+ friendly destinations in Florida. The tiny tropical island embodies an ethos of \u201ccome as you are,\u201d whatever that means to you.

This summer, Key West Pride<\/strong><\/a> (June 22-28) will bring a technicolor celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride with poolside \u201cdive-in\u201d movies, karaoke nights, cabaret shows, and a trolley tour of queer landmarks in the Conch Republic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stonewall Riots<\/a> of 1969 were a catalyst for the modern gay rights movement in America. The Greenwich Village bar is very much alive and well these days; in fact, it\u2019s now recognized as a national monument. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
