Key West Pride &#; Fighting Support with Love and Acceptance

As the mercury started to rise to ever higher temperatures, so did the excitement for Key West Pride , hosted in Key West, Florida! Key West Self-acceptance is a fabulous and vibrant celebration centered in the southernmost point of the continental USA. The lineup of events was unmatched and full of fabulous drag shows, dance parties, highway fairs, community events, and the main attraction, the Key West Pride Parade itself! 

The event was held from June 7 – 11, in Key West, Florida. People from across southern Florida and the US came to attend the festive Pride events and to show their help for Florida’s LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms – and with the current political climate, especially within the state of Florida itself.

Key West Pride was a magical, fabulous weekend filled with plenty of laughter, tears of remembrance, a celebration of how far we’ve come, re-connecting with antique friends, and creating new friendships, and last memories.
