Well, yes and no. Yes, it is a real key. I can certainly write a piece in G flat minor. But my key signature would have five flats and two *double* flats, which is certainly cumbersome. So why would I choose to do this when I could get the exact same sound by writing my piece in the enharmonic key of F# minor, which would give me the vastly simpler key signature of three sharps?

So while Gb minor certainly exists theoretically, in practical terms there's just no reason to ever use it.
