Provincetown Packing Company has a tagline you will not soon forget – "Weho Gays. Who Pack. Your Shit." And it has a service you won’t forget either.
The 6-month-old Provincetown Packing is a gay-themed moving coordination company that not only packs customers' belongings but does anything else to prepare for a move.

Radakovich and his crew will inventory your belongings, donate the things you don’t want anymore, find consignment companies for the things you want to sell, pack the things you crave to keep, then unpack and arrange it all in the new place.

Liberatore said he hopes to get into a broader range of stories with the next set of films he’s planning.

Pride Month serves as a reminder of the progress made for LGBTQ+ representation worldwide, and is a distinct opportunity to highlight LGBTQIA+ owned brands. Helping shoppers learn about these companies encourages support beyond the month of June, especially when visibility is more important than ever: Even though more than 50 years have passed since the Stonewall uprising, discriminatory anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, anti-LGBTQ+ loath and major companies rolling back their LGBTQ+ back are rising at alarming rates.
