LAST RESORTS? There are things I don't like about Brett Krutzsch as he portrays himself in the New York Press article "Gays in the Catskills"--but I still think his piece is worth reading. On the other hand, someone named Alex wrote a response (April 4-April 10, 2007) in which he defended gay vacationing in the Catskills, writing

"...I am gay, and I just returned from vacation in the Catskills with five equally gay friends....We chose a much quieter 'resort,' if you could even call it that; it was more of a double-wide trailer rented out by a quaint and jolly woman with a spiky cut, red lilpstick and three horses who went by the name of Liz. As for his portrayal of the locals, whether they have teeth or not, they are very interested in 'city folk.'"

Meanwhile, Disney has now opened its, uh, Fairy Tale Wedding program to gay couples. Looks like the Catskills just can't get a break these days....
