Key West AIDS Memorial

The Key West AIDS Memorial is more than just stone and names—it’s a sacred space in paradise. As the world’s first municipal AIDS memorial, it honors over 1,200 lives lost in the Florida Keys and stands as a fierce reminder that queer joy has always existed alongside deep loss. Take a quiet moment here to cry, remember, or just feel—because grief and love both deserve a seat in the sun. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking, and absolutely necessary.
