“Fire Island,” a modern adaptation of Jane Austin’s “Pride and Prejudice” set with the queer community, is a romantic comedy that is fresh and relevant.
Narration by star and writer Joel Kim Booster describes Fire Island as “Disney World for gays.” Located off of New York’s Long Island, Fire Island has a long history of being a safe haven for members of the LGBTQ community to feel free to be themselves.
