Massachusetts

Some folks prefer a less "gay" mecca as a place to own a home. There are so many places of beauty and peace and serenity on the Cape, (and the Islands), that gay and lesbian folks live everywhere, and enjoy their own particular location. Indeed, in winter, it can be argued that it's more enjoyable to live "mid-Cape" or out on some spit of land on the bay-side or the ocean-side, in Chatham, Dennis, or even Sandwich or Falmouth, (much closer to Boston by car for an evening out yet an hour from P-town if you want to to get there, too).

Antique dealers, retired teachers, artists, musicans, dancers, actors, business people, many gay and lesbian folks live everywhere on the Cape and Islands in their later years, all over the area.
