Correa, I had a great time there in December.

Only thing was, after about 3 days, I felt like I should be entered in detox.

Thanks GoT, I certainly understand. I did not mean to imply that all of those weren't good reasons, I was just curious.

Hmmm...last time I was there Duval Street was one long "drag main" lineup of pick-up trucks and other traffic. Everyone was having a good time, even the straight people in their Volvos.

And none taken.

They just really enjoy hanging out there right now and watching the parade of life go by.

I don't get a choice. FIL has to come for the ceremony. I know my thoughts exactly. He is such a jack a$$

Reach Resort must be sold out or still under renovations.

frenchtoile,
I did not mean to imply that the beach at The Reach is a great beach. It too is very small. The Reach can also get over run with children.

Anymore, the most obvious gay presence in Key West is the gay oriented activites which are advertised along with the other versions of these activites. There is a gay Conch tour. A women's only Sebago sailing trip. A pre-dominintly male snorkeling trip on the Blu-Q. You will see some same-sex hand-holding and smooching, and even some same-sex couples cruising Duval on a motorcycle. (And there is always a lot of laughing and what sounds like some slap-and-tickle and loud music behind that fence at the New Orleans House on Petronia, but the chinks in the fence aren't big enough for me to get a peek at what's going on).

It's nothing like it was 15 years ago. (When I was 6, or so)

Key West has a strong heterosexual contingent. I know there is a painting of the breasts event for women on Key West. I've seen it on the internet.

George, women patrons are also encouraged to come onstage and flash at Irish Kevins.

We were so shocked that we went back the next day:-)

Keith, I'd be drinking with ya'.

The "event" for body painting happens over Fantasy Fest. There is also a bar on top of the Bull and Whistle that offers it.

I was there in early August and it was fine. Yes, there are some gay people and you do notice it. To think it is "all" gay is absurd, though. I found plenty to do and I had a great time without feeling like I was in an "all gay" city. There is no reason to worry over this and it would be a shame to skip out on such an incredible place out of fear it may look gay. I am straight as an arrow and absolutely loved it... can't wait to go back.

The great thing about Key West is that it is a sort of "melting pot". Every walk of life is there-straights, gays and in betweens. Rich, poor and in the middle. And everyone is having a good time. Hey,if yer father in law wants to see gays all over the place go to Provncetown MA
