“No pride for some of us without the liberation of all of us” - Marsha P. Johnson, American gay liberation activist. 

We’re celebrating the first day of Pride Month at fireislandnps! 🏳️‍🌈 This iconic island holds great significance in LGBTQ+ history and remains an important destination for the community. Located off Long Island, New York coast, this barrier island has served as a haven for LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly since the mid-20th century.

From Oscar Wilde's visit in 1882 to the development of Cherry Grove as "America's First Gay and Lesbian Town," Fire Island has long been a cherished place for LGBTQ+ individuals, even long before the Stonewall Riots set the movement for Gay Liberation into motion, providing refuge and space for expression when LGBTQ+ rights were limited.
