Enjoy the 4th of July holiday weekend
The forecast for the 4th of July holiday weekend appears to be pretty spectacular. If you live in the United States, I hope you are able to enjoy the long holiday weekend with your family and friends. Sergio and I will be relaxing in Boston this year, enjoying all the sun and warmth summer can provide.
Happy 240th birthday United States.
Furry Friday
I posted these photos of one of my favorite Provincetown drag performers a couple years ago and now that the summer is in full swing in Ptown I thought I’d share the sexy selfies once again for this week’s Furry Friday – enjoy. This guy is as talented as he is good looking.
Obama greeted with cheers by Canadian Parliament
I know that not everyone feels this way, but I wholeheartedly agree with the Canadian Parliament who cheered President Obama with a standing ovation while chanting “Four more years!” I would gladly vote for Obama again.
This video must make everyone at FOX News physically ill to see Obama so loved. It certainly doesn’t gel with their view that we’ve lost influence among our friends and allies. You can see Obama’s full address on Joe My God.

Walt Whitman pictured with his younger lover and muse, Peter Doyle circa 1869
Keeping with the theme of prominent gay men from years past (last week I had a photo of Oscar Wilde and his lover), this week is a photo of Walt Whitman – one of America’s most celebrated poets and his muse and younger lover (he had a penchant for younger men), Peter Doyle.
Brian Sims “Bears and Beer” bust returns to Ptown
Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims is returning to Provincetown during Bear Week for his 2nd annual “Bears and Beer” bust, on Tuesday, July 12, at the beautiful Sage Inn and Lounge from 2 pm to 4 pm.
This will be a fun and casual opportunity for you to welcome and meet Brian back to Provincetown and to help support his re-election. Previous events have sold out so if you are planning to be in Ptown for Bear Week and you like Brian (and let’s face it – who doesn’t?) then RSVP before the event fills up.
Word of the day: Twink
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. In honor of the circuit party, that officially starts in Provincetown tomorrow, today’s vocabulary word is twink.
Twink (twingk /adjective)
Definition: A typically younger, thinner, gay man with little or no body hair.
Example: Twinks love Sergio.
Caption this photo
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. This week’s photo comes from a past post from my friend’s Tumblr site, Giants, Football, Rugby and Life. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.

Get Happy at Club Cafe
The East Coast debut Judy Garland herself (by impersonator Peter Mac) takes you on a musical journey through her life from her days in Vaudeville, to her illustrious film career at MGM, and her legendary concert comebacks in the 50’s and 60’s as well as her CBS television series. GET HAPPY! Is a theatrical experience featuring all of Garland’s standards but your chance to see this show closes later this week with the last performance on Saturday, July 2nd.
Survey says Boston has the highest average meal prices in U.S.
If you think dining in Boston is getting more expensive you would be correct based on the findings of a recent survey published by Alignable Main Street Insights that was based on research done by First Data.
According to the findings, Boston ranks as the most expensive city in the United States with the average meal price of $44.02. That price point also made Boston the city with the highest weekly revenue transactions for restaurants, despite only ranking only 5th in the number of average weekly transactions. 
For all of you who want to read more about the survey findings, which ranked and compared the 25 biggest cities in America, click here.
#MyFirstGayBar: Neighbours in Seattle
Since the shooting in Orlando many have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #MyFirstGayBar. The tragedy in Orlando underscores a conversation that the gay community has been having with itself for nearly a decade about the relevance or need for “community” and in particular the role of gay bars as one of the foundations of the gay community.
Boston watched their LGBT bookstores close one by one, followed by many popular gay bars in the early 2000s as the traditional enclave – the South End – saw more men leaving and more heterosexual couples moving in. In light of the Orlando shooting, which in my mind was both an act of terrorism and a hate crime, it reminds me how important it is to retain businesses that are here first and foremost to serve the local LGBT community.
#MyFirstGayBar was Neighbours Nightclub in Seattle. What was yours?
