1940s Fire Island
My usually reliable source said this was on Fire Island in 1940.
Was Fire Island a "place to go" for homosexuals in the 40s and 50s?
ReplyDeleteNot as notorious as it became later, but yes.
DeleteFrom my understanding, it was a rustic bohemian artist’s colony in the 1920’s and 30’s. PaJaMa was one such group to popularize Fire Island.
ReplyDeleteRight. Seeing as how artistic types usually include a lot of gays, there was a gradual transition from artist colony to gay mecca.
