Fire Island : l’île la plus gay des États-Unis

32 members

C'est une toute petite île à 2 heures de New York. Une longue bande de sable, sur les rives de l’Océan Atlantique, au sud de Long Island : 1 km de large sur 50 km de long. Un espace naturel magnifique, protégé et classé : il n'y a ni routes goudronnées, ni voitures, ni supermarchés. Durant de longues années, Fire Island a été un secret bien gardé. C’était le sanctuaire de la communauté gay qui pouvait vivre ici ce rêve américain qu’on lui a longtemps refusé. Jusqu’en 1962, l'homosexualité était totalement interdite aux États-Unis. Seule cette île, à l’abri des regards, leur offrait un refuge où les gays pouvaient avoir une vie amoureuse libre, non cachée.

Discover the Intriguing 'RE: European Stories': A Must-Add to Your BetaSeries Account

With a staggering 1112 episodes across seven seasons, 'RE: European Stories' is not your average TV series; it's an immersive experience that takes viewers on a captivating tour of Europe. This reportage magazine showcases different aspects of the continent - from focusing on significant political events such as elections to painting detailed portraits of individual countries or highlighting the efforts of single persons driving small-scale European projects.

The series starts powerfully with episode 1 focusing on the right-wing populist 'Party for Freedom' (PVV) which could become the strongest force in the Dutch elections held on March 15, 2017. It portrays how this development becomes a nightmare for migrants and Muslims in the country, demonstrating how rigid positions in this once liberal flagship democracy are. The high-emotional election campaign is shown to change society significantly.

Moving further into Eastern Europe, episode 2 sheds light on Poland's growing fear of Russian invasion since the Ukraine crisis. It shows tens of thousands of men and women trading their everyday outfits for olive-green combat attire to train for defending their homeland. Even Polish education is seen embracing militarization trends with over 30,000 students attending uniform classes where they receive military training using real weapons.
