I don’t mean to drag us someplace serious immediately, especially over what’s a remarkably fun and surprisingly smart (for being mindless in that ideal summer way) gay rom-com. Or rather, even more specifically the friendships between gay women and men of color. This isn’t about me and my questionable decisions in background noise movies. When I watched Fire Island last weekend, I texted him again and said “I feel so complicated! Let me know when you watch!” Ugh, then I watched it again? Then before I knew it I watched it a third time? I think I might have a problem.
I called Booster’s co-star and SNL regular Bowen Yang “King Bowen” (I stand by it). He said writer/producer/star Joel Kim Booster was hot (and he is). We joked about our own gay summers, we cheered over a Peppermint cameo (she’s one of our favorite drag performers).
When the trailer for Fire Island first dropped, the first person I texted was my best friend Elliott.
