"I'm the only gay man I know who has never been to Fire Island. I have
not made a point of staying away -- its charms are legendary, of course
-- but the occasion has simply never presented itself. Now, it's quite
likely that I will remain forever virginal in that regard. Or at least
until these guys are no longer collecting money at the dock. When I
coined the term 'A-gay' forty years ago, these were just the sort of
creeps I had in mind. It was never intended as something to aspire to." -
Armistead Maupin, reacting to
this New York Times profile of hoteliers Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass.
