The untold history of Fire Island Pines — how a remote barrier island became the most iconic LGBTQ+ destination in the world
Just came across a documentary podcast series called Finding Fire Island that does a deep dive into the history of Fire Island Pines from the 1950s to today. Covers the AIDS crisis and its impact on the community, the history of cruising and the Meat Rack, the first-ever Invasion of the Pines in 1976, and how the Pines became a canvas for queer creativity and culture. Really fascinating history that I didn't know much about before watching.
