“This is so great.”
“Thank you guys so much for…!”
“Oh my gosh… this is amazing.”
“So how long have you guys been coming out to Fire Island…?”
Thus, the ice is broken between the Fire Island cast and longtime Fire Island locals Robert and Douglas, who reveal in the below clip that they’ve been hanging out in FI regularly for about 18 years.

“Wow…!”
“So you guys must have seen this place, like, completely evolve and…?!”
“When I first came out in the ’80s,”Douglas says, “you felt safe dancing with men or holding hands in the street — whereas everywhere else in Manhattan, you didn’t feel that.”
Robert adds, “It’s the only place on the Northeast that you’re really in the major majority. It’s your place.”
Cast member Cheyenene: “It’s amazing that new generations can… come here and experience all the same traditions and it… basically… where… everyone can be accepted…?”
“….”
Watch:
The two-hour premiere is tonight at 7C.

I, for one, am sick of insipid, undereducated queers. Stop putting these people on TV. They know nothing about gay history, but act like they are effing trailblazers for being on an exploitive gay-themed show. Grow up.
ErikO
Exactly. Then you have queens like the two locals who actually believe that a gay ghetto for rich queens like fire island is some magical place that’s revolutionary when 99% of men who went there and still go there go just to hook up and use drugs.
ChrisK
I’m also sick of it. Bitter bitchy queers who complain about everything.
DCguy
So ErikO, back in the 60’s when cops would beat or kill people the people that went to Fire Island were assh*les because they may have hooked up there?
Wow, you really hate LGBTS don’t you.
Tête Carrée
Maybe you should read today’s article on “sapiosexuals” ie. insufferable pretentious c*nts as they were known in the old days.
Are you sure you’re a country boy, Low Country Boy? My gay farmer father would have kicked my ass for complaining about anything gay. The only thing that was gay then were bars and cruising areas (like Fire Island). So, yes it was revolutionary compared to being burned at the stake, which is were the term “fa__ots” comes from (but you know your gay history, right?).
“an exploi(ta)tive gay-themed show”. Hell, I would love to be gaily exploited. Especially when naked, tied up and blindfolded. And using drugs is the only way for gang rape to be enjoyable so don’t knock it.

I might watch this show if Logo were in HD. The way it is, I just can’t stand to watch in blurry SD after seeing the sneak preview on VH-1.
That said, after the complete debacle and unwatchable “A-List: Dallas” on Logo a few years ago, I can’t stand to watch any show about pissy, nelly queens (yes, that’s what this is and what everyone is calling it in the bars) at all.

You are spot on about “A-List: Dallas.” Dallas is well known for its pissy, nelly queens. The New York version was just as bad with that whiny twat, Reichen.
Terrycloth
A bunch of drama queens , I watched the show all of them airheads …self absorbed queens who acted like characters of gays
Swish lispy whiny bunch…nothing much happens ..bitching drinking and not much else…avoid seeing this…
DCguy
After funning endless loops of “16 and Pregnant” I’m not sure why Logo still bothers to pretend it’s a gay channel.
Apparently it also thinks the only gay people alive are in NYC. Here’s an idea, how about a show about a bunch of lgbts with jobs, who don’t want to be actors or models, and who know more about current or historical events then they do about skin bronzer and concealer. Just a thought.

Just because they are gay and on tv does not mean that they represent us the second all of you realize that the less you complain about how much knowledge someone contains on gay history sorry not everyone is as informed of you like damn relax and enjoy television entertainment
