The PBG would like to share our condolences for th

The PBG would like to share our condolences for the friends, family and community of John Burrows, the founder and organizer of Provincetown Bears & Provincetown Bear Week, who unexpectedly passed away yesterday.

Provincetown Bear Week was started by John and the men of Provincetown Bears nearly 25 years ago. Within a very short period of time it has grown into one of the largest weeks in the town’s summer event schedule, and the largest gathering of bears in the world. The Provincetown community and the bear community owe John a great debt of gratitude for building a space and culture that has brought so many visitors joy and acceptance, and helped to define bear culture 🖤🧡🤎

Provincetown plans to ‘gay it forward’ and help maintain the culture John built along with the many other friends and creators surrounding Bear Week.

Here’s a photo shared by John’s loved ones early-on in Bear Weeks growth in 2001.

Major congratulations to new @gifford_house owner

Major congratulations to new @gifford_house owner Steve Azar @stevazar for cracking doors to the public for the first time during yesterday’s soft opening for Porch Bar. (Walking into the space felt like seeing a favorite Townie you’ve missed all winter long - in a sexy new pair of jeans.) We’re grateful for all the work going into one of Provincetown’s most historic spaces, and would also like to express our gratitude for the stewardship of Jim Foss who owned and ran the property for nearly 30 years, and was also a longtime supporter of the PBG 🙏

Thankfully, we have a lot to look forward to in the ways of the continued gay-entertainment tradition Gifford is known for with another local, LGBTQ+ owner…

🌸 Porch Bar is now open NIGHTLY starting tomorrow (Friday!) at 5PM
😈 The club formerly known as Purgatory will be shortly resurrected!!
👷‍♀️The 33-room hotel has almost finished a full transformation (reservations have been open.)
🎹 And we hear there’s much more to come with the coming lounge and events space!

Here’s a sneak peek at the refresher going on right now at one of our other new members at The Ellery Hotel @theelleryhotel ✨ Did you know that while women account for 70% of the hospitality industry workforce, they only account for 11% of ownership? We’re excited to welcome another female owned & operated lodger like The Ellery to Provincetown.

Make sure to pop by and say hello to the folks making it all happen over there like Jillian and Tommy after they opened on May 11th, or if you’re planning a visit bookings are open and available now online.

Please reach out, show some love and say thank you

Please reach out, show some love and say thank you to any/all trans individuals in your community (today and any day, but especially nowadays…) Thank you to Mx Justin Vivian Bond @mxviv for all your advocacy and for carrying a torch for many communities, and in Provincetown as our first trans grand marshal 🎉

We love our trans visitors and the trans members of our local community. You are safe and welcome here always. Thank you for being you.

“Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect. Their courage has given countless others strength, but no one should have to be brave just to be themselves. Every American deserves that freedom.”

The friendly faces of The Key West Business Guild

The friendly faces of The Key West Business Guild @gaykeywestfl have wildly similar stories to tell about their origins, goals and future efforts in today’s cultural climate…

Our Guilds were not only formed in the exact same year, but for the same need for better representation in our respective communities - to elevate, promote and protect the LGBTQ+ community and our business members through tourism. While our high seasons may be almost inverse on the calendar, we both work similarly to represent as best as possible across the full spectrum of our communities, struggle with housing shortages for our locals and businesses, the loss of dedicated Women’s spaces, and share a fear of making sure our homes remain celebratory bastions for LGBTQ+ community. How do you think we can better work with our sister cities like Key West?

We are excited to partner more closely with Key West moving forward and share ideas (and hopefully get their two-person team up to Ptown!) Thank you to Fritzie and Kevin for the warm welcome today 🏳️‍🌈

💜 in Pride
