Have you ever been to Provincetown?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s gorgeous. It\u2019s quaint. It\u2019s surrounded by beaches and the streets are filled with art galleries and cute shops with rainbow flags in every window. There are whale-watching tours and sailboats bobbing towards the sunset and drag shows at night. You can hold hands with your lover and no one will stare. You can rent bikes and pedal slowly past colorful little cottages you\u2019d kill to own. Provincetown is <\/span>it<\/span><\/i>\u2014it\u2019s heaven for queers. Go. <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0a whole week<\/i><\/b> where the <\/b>entire town <\/i><\/b>will be <\/b>crawling with queer women<\/b><\/h3>\n

Always and forever gay-friendly to the extreme, Provincetown will be <\/span>particularly<\/span><\/i> loaded with queer women during Women\u2019s Week. And some of them might<\/em> be single. A lot of them, actually\u2014there\u2019s a Single Women\u2019s Mixer where you may just meet a new \u201cfriend\u201d and there are frequent\u00a0tea dances, which sound old-fashioned, but are really just an excuse to cram an additional dance into the daytime hours. There are also plenty of dance party nights, all <\/span>packed <\/span><\/i>with women.\u00a0Sold yet?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny as hell<\/h3>\n

You know who\u2019s performing? Oh, just Lily Tomlin, Cameron Esposito and Karen Williams to name a few people. You\u2019re gonna laugh your ass off and you\u2019re gonna do it while listening to famous female comics, surrounded by hundreds of queer women who are also laughing their asses off. We will shake the patriarchy to the ground with our female laughter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay at a\u00a0gay-friendly\u00a0inn<\/h3>\n

There are lots of adorable places to stay in Provincetown and almost all of them are queer owned or welcome LGBTQ guests. Check into the cute Atlantic Light Inn<\/a>\u00a0with its sloping ceilings and free breakfast or curl up at\u00a0the\u00a0Crowne Pointe Historic Inn & Spa<\/a>, which boasts a full spa and a free beach shuttle. Want to stay at a women’s owned lodging? Check out Sage Inn and Lounge which is also a Women’s Week sponsor. None of these inns will even bat an eye if you and your girlfriend stay\u00a0in a single room with one king-sized bed.<\/span><\/p>\n
