While the gay Boys of Fire Island generally kick off every weekend evening with ‘Low Tea’ and then ‘High Tea’, the Boys of the Hamptons don’t have as many options – and a lot less tea parties. We only get Almond on Friday night and if we are lucky, we can hit up a spot of Karoke at Almondcello on Saturday night. To say the gay nightlife options in the Hamptons are a bit limiting is an understatement. (And no, the gay beaches in East and South don’t count).

So when the Empire State Pride Agenda rolled into town this past weekend to throw their 16th Annual Hamptons Tea Dance at the festive Diamond Ranch, every single gay and lesbian showed as well as a lot of their supporters. Hello, where have all of you been hiding? It got me to thinking: gays in the Hamptons are like roaches, they only come out at night.
