What to do this weekend
There is a little bit of something for everyone this weekend. If you’re looking for an option to bars or clubs get tickets for the closing weekend of Lyric Stage Co’s production of The Little Foxes or check out the Preview Party for the 35th Annual Wicked Queer Film Festival on Saturday. The largest event this weekend will be 2019 South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday.
However, if you’re looking to get out, grab a drink or two and possibly go dancing there is plenty to do. Here are a few options: MFA “Gender Bending Fashion” Late Nites, H E R O E S and S&M Comedy Night on Friday.
If you’re looking for an excuse to get out of town, head down to Provincetown on Friday for Bears out of Hibernation 2019, which runs through Sunday.

More news about gay urban enclaves
According to recent research by the University of British Columbia, which was published last week in Pink News, gay and lesbian spaces in cities are dispersing and diversifying rather than disappearing.
The study finds that only 12% of LGBTQ Americans older than 18 years of age currently live in gay enclaves “gayborhoods” in major cities and more than 70% (72% to be precise) have never lived in a ‘gay neighborhood’. In many cities same sex couples with children are choosing to live in more suburban settings. Provincetown, MA, North Hampton, MA and Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood where called out as top postcodes for lesbians (no surprise to anyone familiar with these places). However, top postcodes for gay men remain the largest gay, urban neighborhoods like The Castro and West Hollywood. But trends suggest that while the traditional “gayborhood” is changing it is reflecting a diversity that better represents the make up of the United States.
We will see what ultimately happens to the few remaining gay enclaves, but a diversifying neighborhood where gay individuals, couples and families call home and are both vocal and visible seems like a better alternative to disappearing.
Vintage gay
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price.
