Arriving in Provincetown at age 31, Paul Lisicky found an open, proud, unapologetic LGBTQ community that made him feel 'like this was the first time I was ever alive.'
At twenty-nine, I still felt compelled, out of a sense of gay piety, to make these pilgrimages to legendary convocations and megaparties. So, I had fled my Brooklyn sublet and jumped on a Boston-bound bus in Chinatown, traveling over land and sea to experience this critical mass of body hair and happiness.
