It is utterly fabulous and nothing at all like what we had expected. In fact, we are honestly going to suggest you skip Boston entirely and make Providence the focus of your entire Gay Trip to New England. The ‘islands’ near NYC (Long Island, Rhode Island) often get a bad rep as nothing more than suburban surroundings to the Big Apple, but to skip over them on trips between New York and Boston would be a mistake. And that is before we even talk about the booming food and arts scene….
A dynamic city that embraces love, respect, and joy, we were blown away by this community’s commitment to diversity – including that of its LGBT population. Providence – Rhode Island – is perhaps the gayest state capital we have ever visited.
