Fun With Wikipedia: Fire Island

So, I’m watching this movie called The Wackness (review coming soon) and some of the characters head to Fire Island. I’ve heard of this place a bunch, but mostly in a Fountains Of Wayne song, but didn’t know anything about it, which lead me to checking out the Wiki page (which you can read here). Anyway, I was delighted to see the following picture on the site with the caption “Tourists on the ocean-side beach of Fire Island Pines.” As long as I say that the photo was taken by, snicker, David Shankbone, I can post it here. Looks like a fun place!

  1. I haven’t been to Fire Island but understand it is a “substantially” gay community. That pic hints at that. Funny that seems to still offend people.

    I trust the Island continues to exist after Irene!

  2. Fire Island is about 75% straight. There are eight communities on the island. Only, Cherry Grove and The Pines are mostly gay. I believe this photo was taken in The Pines.
