In this episode of ‘Gays Gone Wild,’ “Fire Island” was trending on Twitter today after several social media posts went viral featuring tons of shirtless gays at shoulder-to-shoulder parties at the gay summer mecca, Fire Island.
No masks, no social distancing.
Journalist Chris Weidner curated the following posts and reports via Twitter.
Among the ‘Covidiots’ is an apparent 23-year-old Giancarlo Kristian Albanese, currency analyst at EverythingFx. It looksl like he was planning on returning to his parents house (where he lives) in White Plains, NY.
Except – his mother reportedly if undergoing chemotherapy, and his brother commented on Giancarlo’s post saying he is now unwelcome at home.
Plenty of non-social-distancing going on at Fire Island Pines in New York. Certain gays can’t skip a season to save their lives. Criticism mounts: https://t.co/KWuJRzOJc0@PinkNews @MajorPhilebrity @sbstryker @yashar @evanrosskatz @lgbtqnation @Queerty @TheAdvocateMag #4thofJuly pic.twitter.com/Jr7WzSL7LL

More video coming in from Fire Island Pines, showing large crowds, close quarters, no masks and no fu*%s given while confirmed Covid-19 positive people are in attendance. #July4th #IndependanceDay #COVID @DCHomos @MajorPhilebrity @evanrosskatz @yashar @emmavpm @DanaKennedyLive pic.twitter.com/4aFCoSQ6Ls

I found her Facebook. It’s true that she has cancer. She also seems like a wonderful person. He must be seriously mentally disturbed to be this unhinged. I feel bad for his family.

And then there’s Corey Hannon who told social media that he had been suffering from COVID-19 for over a week but went to Fire Island anyway.
Corey Hannon, who admits he has Covid-19 & is partying ar Fire Island Pines, posted a now deleted video after being called out on social media for being irresponsible.@evanrosskatz @MajorPhilebrity @tyleroakley @yashar @PinkNews @Queerty @tlrd @nypost @DanaKennedyLive #COVIDIOT pic.twitter.com/4nDuDRH819

Hannon later posted an ‘apology’ video which seemed to twist and turn itself in knots.
On one hand, he said he never actually tested positive for COVID-19, but he believed he had experienced it. BUT – even though he took a test for the virus, he still headed out to Fire Island to frolic in the sun amid the gays.
He ‘apologized’ for the ‘misrepresentation’ of his COVID story and that his video rant was never meant to be posted to his account as it was just ‘bad humor’ intended to be shared among friends.
He also denounced so-called ‘cancel culture’ for how his own posts on social media came back to bite him in the ass.
First of all, pal, stop posting every second of your life on social media if you don’t want to deal with the ramifications. You’re not that cool.
Second, we can’t cancel what hasn’t happened. I’d never heard of Hannon before today. The idea of ‘cancel culture’ is to ‘cancel’ prominent individuals who have abused public trust in having a following.
Dude, you ain’t that famous…
Twitter was NOT havin it:

If you went to Fire Island this weekend do us all in NYC/Long Island a favor and extend your Fire Island stay for an extra two weeks. Stay where you are. Parties are fun, but this shit was fucking stupid. Quarantine your ass like our lives depend on it.

You’d think we gay men would have learned from the last pandemic that brought our community to its knees (HIV) and that we’re still reeling from. We criticize Trumpists for denying science and then turn around and do this. Embarrassing.
