In this episode, we celebrate America’s freedom to live loud and proud by playing some drag bingo, enjoying some off-off-off Broadway entertainment and the annual drag “invasion. Forty-five minutes from New York City, Fire Island is a ribbon of sand featuring 17 very different and distinct communities, including the famous gay and lesbian enclaves of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines.
