http://www.bostonpride.org/ You can register to be a part of the parade, volunteer, or just get general events information.
So basically, there are tons of LGBT happenings all the time in Boston. I haven’t had much time to check out many of the venues that I listed due to poverty and lack of free time. I would love to hear your feedback (as always) on any of these bars, restaurants, or organizations.
If you have a GLBT or feminist issue that you’d like me to blog about go ahead and leave a comment requesting it. Thanks.
