"No longer mainly for gays, Provincetown courts all" by Tania deLuzuriaga, Globe Staff | August 13, 2008
PROVINCETOWN - Amid rising fears among some gays that mainstream culture will take over, town officials are now trying to strike a precarious balance between drawing new travelers to help the economy and alienating the loyal gay clientele that helped forge the town's identity. In recent campaigns, Provincetown has depicted itself as anything but gay.
Of course, if you feel the opposite way then you are a bigot, according to the divisive, agenda-pushing BG here!
Not like a GAY AGENDA is being RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS (pun intended).
Events for gays have not been bypassed by the new emphasis, and there are some new ones, like last month's "Girl Splash," the town's first weeklong summer event for lesbians. But it is the other events that are getting buzz from the mainstream media. CNN ran a segment on whale watching last spring. Swiss Public Radio did a feature on the town last month, and The New York Times has published pieces about the burgeoning retail scene.
But the MSM doesn't promote the agenda or anything.
Just a nice, kitschy story, right?
While town officials say that diversity and inclusion are the essence of Provincetown, not everyone is comfortable with the changes. Some gay tourists who have been coming here for years say they fear gays will be slowly sequestered in "gay-borhoods" and mainstream culture will take over much of the town.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that; I won't be visiting anytime soon -- if ever!
And WHAT is with the GAY INTOLERANCE?????
They point to similar trends in Key West, Fla., and Fire Island, N.Y., both of which were once predominantly gay but then saw influxes of straight tourists.
Yeah, how terrible (except for the $$$ they bring, right)!!!!
"It's changed drastically here and not for the good," said Alan Robertson, a loyal Provincetown visitor since 1977. "It used to be that you could walk down the street holding hands with a man and you felt safe. Now you feel gawked at."
So you aren't safe because you are looked at? Pfffffttt!
What pussies!!!!
Others say that Provincetown has long been known as a mecca of acceptance and that has to mean an acceptance of everyone, gay or straight.
Well, apparently not!!!
--more--"
Who would have thought that gay guys could be such dicks, huh?
