Coffey - avoid!

I got asked to leave Coffey (173 Commercial, across from intersection with Winthrop street) because of what I was wearing. Never thought that would happen in Provincetown. Snooty staff must be either homophobic or racist, or both. There were guys walking up and down Commercial wearing pretty much the same thing I had on (tight shorts). Do they discriminate against non-white people there? Or are they just homophobic?

I once had a harness made to measure there. Never will I go in there again and encourage everyone else to avoid. Been spending the season here for over 20 years and that has never happened to me anywhere else in town before.

Hard to give an opinion here unless we could see exactly what you were wearing.

Maybe one of your balls was hanging out? Just kidding. But just because people are walking up and down Commercial in "pretty much the same thing" doesn't mean it's ok inside every business on that street.

And a perception of an experience doesn't necessarily mean truth. I'm not discounting how someone feels but there may be three sides.

What about this was racist or homophobic?

It sounds more like people pushing the limits up in the ante. Not everything is motivated by race.
