On the tail of the recent phenomenal Blue Wave in the recent US Midterm Elections, the LGBTQA+ Community can heave a massive sigh of relief that Same Sex Marriage is still very alive and safe. It seems, therefore, perfect timing for a new exhibition aptly titled QUEER LOVE; it’s being presented in Provincetown, the tiny town at the very tip of Cape Cod, which is (one of) the most welcoming places in the US, especially for the LGBTQA+ community

It’s also the home of photographer RON AMATO, who, back in 2025, was disturbed that Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2015, was asking the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. Although the justices ultimately declined to hear her appeal, Amato worried that the court could overturn marriage equality, just as it had to Roe v. Wade. “The constant political attacks on queer people are, in many ways, louder and more insistent than they were in 2015,” Amato wrote in his artist statement. He recalled thinking then, “The humanity behind these decisions is completely ignored.”

This inspired Amato to begin photographing LGBTQ+ couples and families, aiming to show the real people behind these political debates. Amato wanted the portraits to look as natural as possible while capturing the beauty and emotion in each person’s face.

The results are stunning, and when we spoke with Amato as he finished hanging the exhibit, we noticed the gallery. It is dedicated to the memory of the late, great Edie Windsor, who played a major role in the successful fight for same-sex marriage. We know she will be there in spirit for all this inspiring celebration of queer love.
