Aids Memorial in Key West
I have just returned from Key West, in Florida were they have had an Aids Memorial for some years now. It was a very moving experience. During the short fifteen minutes I was there the memorial which is located on the beach was visited by more than fifty people. The Aids Memorial in Key West is the focal point for the LGBT community in Florida to remember the lives of lovers and friends lost. I hope, despite the detractors it can become the same in Brighton. A 'phoenix' rising from the Old Steine will honour the lives of every person lost and act as a reminder to the young that they cannot drop their guard. "If we forget them, they will have died in vain."
