For LGBTQIA+ adults of all identities and experiences.
All Gender Restrooms
Provincetown has designated its public restrooms as All Gender Restrooms to ensure that everyone—regardless of gender identity—has safe and equal access to public restrooms.
Massachusetts State Law prohibits discrimination based on gender identity in public accommodations, including restrooms.
This means that everyone has the right to use the restroom that best aligns with their gender identity.
View Provincetown’s Public Restrooms site for more information.
