101 Photos of the Tropical Insanity of Key West Pride

There are few places more fun to spend Pride than in Key West. First of all, the weather is great, it’s perfectly OK to wander the streets in barely-there swimwear, and bottom line, Key West is a party town. In fact the Key West motto is: "Close to Perfect — Far From Normal." So yeah, our kind of folks.

In addition to celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Key West Business Guild, they are celebrating the 15th anniversary of the unfurling of the giant sea-to-shining-sea Pride flag — this year with all the original colors Gilbert Baker used in his first design. Key West celebrates Pride with the theme “One Human Family.”

Thanks to Larry Blackburn for his excellent photography of Key West, always catching all the color and all the fun. You can find him on Facebook here. Stay tuned for more of Larry’s photos as we take a tour of some of the many Pride parties that took place in Key West.
