Having a Gay Marriage in Provincetown…How Gay is That?!
As the official start to summer quickly approaches this weekend, the coastal resort town of Provincetown, Massachusetts begins a season of historic milestones, cultural festivals and more. And many gays will flock to PTOWN to get married.
Since the legalization of gay marriage in Massachusetts in 2004, Provincetown has earned the distinction of “the place to get married,” issuing more than 2,000 marriage licenses to date.
Today, Provincetown may be the easiest place to get married as the Town Clerk recently announced the ability to file applications for marriage licenses on Fridays. Given Provincetown’s beautiful seaside setting, colorful environment and consistent rating as the premier gay destination in America, it makes for an ideal wedding spot.
