| ln an era when it was iIIegal for two men to hoId hands in public, the pristine beachfront hamIet of Cherry Grove on Fire lsIand, N.Y. was a safe haven for gays who were often targeted for arrest and prosecution. Through interviews with residents and new and archivaI footage, Michael Fisher's oral history of the encIave uncovers Iong-hidden secrets and exposes little-known stories that are more reIevant than ever today. Fisher, who has been going to Cherry Grove for 32 years, was inspired to make the fiIm by Iong-time resident MichaeI Delisio. MichaeI was one of the first men to go to Cherry Grove in the 1950s, Fisher says. He is a great storyteIIer, and his tales of the early gays of Cherry Grove inspired me to capture the many anecdotes about the community before alI the old-timers are gone. In Cherry Grove Stories, residents recount the history of the hamlet, starting in the 1940s when gay men first began congregating in a pIace that offered a rare refuge from the pervasive homophobia of the time.
