City’s official motto is “One Human Family.” The Business
Guild is one of the nation’s first gay and lesbian chambers
of commerce, established in 1978, and Key West has been
welcoming GLBT visitors and their friends long before that
time.
Key West has its own Gay and Lesbian Community Center
(GLCC) complete with Museum and Archive, the Guild’s Visitor
Center located within The Center, and the only City Aids
Memorial in the Country.
