Prescott Townsend: one of most influential Boston gay rights pioneers you Prescott Townsend may be the most influential Boston gay rights pioneer you have never heard of. If so, hang on; before were through, Townsend will cross paths with Andre Gide, 1960s hippies, John Waters and his star, Mink Stole. And thats not counting the army of young men who lived with him on Beacon Hill and in Provincetown, as long as their waist sizes hovered very close to 30-inches.
