While the gay community in Provincetown was established in the early 1900s, it grew significantly in the 1970s, as the town actively sought to promote gay tourism in the area. This flyer demonstrates that even with a growing LGBTQ+ community, residents still felt unsafe in the area. GOOD+ condition. Uneven fading and toning to the piece, with minor wrinkling.
