DEBBIE DOES DRIVEL: IT TAKES A VILLAGE

My new rule: Google BEFORE you go. About a month ago, Mr. Man and I drove 2 hours south to a little coastal village for a weekend away. We saw sights we had never seen before. EVER. Turns out the place we picked is a "gay destination town".

SURPRISE !

Nothing wrong with gays....unless they are playing tonsil hockey in my face. Ditto for heterosexuals. That old "there's a time and place" adage is suitable. The man in the two-sizes too small overalls sans shirt with a rope around his neck and his partner holding the other end of the rope as they walked down the street was a bit over the top.

Mr. Man is a good-looking guy. Poor tings. He was subjected to many ogling eyes that weekend, oblivious to the attention. Mr. Man however, had the award winning statement of the weekend. When we were leaving this town he looked at me and said "I feel like we just spent a weekend with the Village People".

Of course, the first thing I did when I got home was Google the town + "gay". Oh my.

From one inn's web site regarding the local sites:

The Beach:

"The Gay & Lesbian section is 200 yards going north on the beach. When you hear Cher playing on the radio you know you've arrived!"

"September and autumn events include: the Mr Speedo contest on the Beach, Military Ball, Gay Men's Chorus Weekend and Halloween Weekend."

You know how inns like to name their rooms flowery names like the Rose Room, The Lilac Room? Well, in this town you can stay in the Naughty Pine Room. If that's not available, there's always "Uranus".

Wonder if the YMCA is available.

Oh you poor tings! A 'fagnet' - lol!

In my lifetime, only one woman ever made a pass at me. The only way I knew it was a pass was because she was looking at my chest while asking me if I wanted to 'hang out' with her.
David, September 4, 2008 2:57 PM: It is guaranteed to be fun when there is a gay festival in town.

How lucky you were to catch these events.
Helmey, September 5, 2008 5:22 PM: so when are you going back?
Practically Joe, September 6, 2008 1:02 AM: A similar experience happened to me and the mrs a long time ago when we decided to take in Provincetown down the cape.
We were naive and unsuspecting.
I have to admit ... we did have fun.

I believe EVERY day is a gay ol' time there!

Helmey -

I actually would like to go back in the off season and stay at one of the nice inns or hotels along the beach. There were just way too many people there for me!

Joe-

I've never been to Provincetown - heard it is beautiful, and that too may be best to visit in the off-season when things aren't quite so freaky!
Orion, September 12, 2008 7:44 PM: i went to a gay bar on 2 occasions. not by choice, mind you... but

1. i was friends with someone who is gay. ..that night i had a gentleman with a bright yellow G-string offer me a lap dance.
PASS.

2. she just had to go to a drag show with friends and it just wouldn't be the same without me. ..that night i was offered a blow job from a gentleman that looked a lot like Phil Collins.
PASS.

it's awkward when you don't want the attention, let him be thankful he was oblivious.

Too funny! At least you know you are "desirable", though don't know if that's good or bad.
