We spent 7 days (2 with Dorothy) in Provincetown, Cape Cod, which really only exists in your imagination, like Brigadoon. There were multitudes of dykes in the grocery store, people of all ages and both genders holding hands and hundreds of dogs of all sizes and shapes being led around the streets of "P-town," which is a charming town of only about 2,000 people, surrounded by Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
It is truly a vacation location - you wouldn't want to run a business from there (unless it was selling t-shirts). Activities are kayaking, golf, off-roading on beautiful beaches, wine tasting, campfires on the beach, eating and drinking. Our fabulous hosts Deb and Sue, who live there, treated us to all of the above except kayaking and golf.
Of course, we couldn't see below the surface, but it looked as though people co-exist without a problem. Provincetown has been a gay mecca for so long that the people who had a problem with it have probably already died or moved away. We learned that the Mayflower actually landed here first! It has been an artist's and writer's community and a Portuguese fishing village since the 1890s and became a gay vacation spot in the 1970s. Two downsides: it's not on the West Coast and it's not real.
