As an ally of the LGBTQ+ community (I have a trans granddaughter) I’m thrilled to know about P-town. I could feel the peace and love in your writing. How great it would be if everyone would “Mind their own damn business”!

This may be my favorite post of yours Charlotte. I have visited Provincetown many times over the last seventy five years. I have taken the Plymouth to P-town leg of that boat ride and is indeed a treasure of a ride. We are not a perfect state, but we have much to celebrate in Massachusetts. I am happy that you were able to celebrate family week here. Thank you to Nissan for continuing to back inclusivity.
I have such wonderful memories of visits to Provincetown, and you, Charlotte, have captured its essence: It's a place of celebratory joy woven into the whole cloth of everyday lives. It's parades and promenades, sunny summer days on the beach and gray winter afternoons around the fire. It's a community that nurtures creative arts and provides a place for people to let their lights shine as they were meant to. This beautiful town is a beacon to us all of what the world can be when we embrace our life-affirming diversity. Thank you, Charlotte, for highlighting what makes P-Town so amazing. And thank you, Nissan, for showing the role corporations can play in making the world more inclusive and joyful.
Another fantastic essay, Charlotte! I adore your writing and the message of kindness, grace and inclusivity you spread. And, wow, I will take a look at Nissan the next time I go car shopping.
I spent a large portion of my childhood summers on Cape Cod, way, way before it was chi chi. My grandparents had 4 very modest rental duplexes in Hyannis, again before it was chi chi. I have the best memories of PTown. Friendly & joyful.
What an absolutely wonderful essay. There's nothing better than inclusive happiness and joy.

This essay is one of the best you've written - and you've written a wealth of great stuff. Thank you.
Is it possible for you to share the contact info for one or more folks at Nissan so I can convey my thanks to them?

P-Town… isn’t Perfect what the P stands for? ;) Thanks for sharing, Charlotte; I have a new-found respect for Nissan.
