Provincetown
By Karyn Mucklow
Imagine… a tiny seaside village where you
are treated to both sunrises and sunsets over
water, smelling the salty, sea air, as you stand
on windswept North Atlantic sand dunes. Now picture
17th and 18th century houses full of early American
antiques and history. And, let's not forget seventeen
different lighthouses within an hour's drive.
Oh yeah, now, add a myriad of women!

You
know "P-town", right? Provincetown, Massachusetts,
ground zero for the gay universe. Located on Cape
Cod, P-town - to those in the know- is the playground
of lesbians and gays from every walk of life, and
from every corner of the globe. Here you'll find
lesbian lovers walking hand-in-hand, strolling in
and out of quaint little shops and congregating
on the beach in droves. There's no need to sneak
a kiss in between the aisles or underneath a beach
towel here, because chances are everyone around
you is doing the same thing.
Georgia Ragsdale, lesbian
comic extraordinaire, says, "What I love about
it is just walking down the street and running into
friends from all over. I don't just mean friends
from P-town, or even Boston. I mean running into
friends from New Orleans, Miami, San Francisco,
all over. It's like one big lesbian reunion."
Georgia is just one of the many performers drawn
to Provincetown. |

From sizzling
dance bars to touch football and whale watching
- music and comedy concerts with the likes of
Cris Williamson, Kate Clinton, Suzanne Westenhoefer
and many others, as well as plays, art exhibitions,
readings, book signings - charming inns, great
shopping and world-class dining - Provincetown
is the number one and only one of it's kind lesbian
and gay heaven. . .
