'''''Fire Island''''' is a {{reality show}} airing on Creator/{{LOGO}}.

Produced in the vein of ''Series/JerseyShore'' (i.e. [[RecycledPremise a reality show featuring a niche subculture of people in a seaside setting over one summer]]) and ''Series/TheRealWorld'', ''Fire Island'' follows the lives of six gay men sharing a summer house on --you guessed it-- [[ThePlace Fire Island]], New York.

Its cast includes: [[DanceBattler Khasan]], a choreographer and backup dancer; [[FunnyForeigner Jorge]], a doctor from Venezeula and Khasan's best friend; [[PrettyBoy Cheyenne]], a model; [[CampGay Patrick]], a bartender who lives on the Island; [[TheBear Justin]], a graphic artist; and [[TheTwink Brandon]], a photographer and college student. Unsurprisingly, some of these personalities clash when thrown together.

The show premiered on April 21, 2017, following an episode of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' on Creator/{{VH1}} before moving to its regular network and timeslot on LOGO.

!! ''Fire Island'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AllGaysArePromiscuous / EverybodyIsSingle: Oddly averted -- Patrick and Brandon are the only housemates who ''don't'' have a boyfriend when they enter the house. Even then, Brandon starts seeing someone by the end of the first season, and Patrick has a vaguely romantic connection with one of his friends, [[JustFriends which he denies being that way]].
* BigBeautifulMan: Justin, who is the cast's requisite [[TheBear bear]].
* CampGay: Patrick is the only outright flamboyant member of the cast, even entering a {{drag queen}} competition at one point.
* CastFullOfGay: Naturally, given that it's a reality show set in the gay community on Fire Island.
* [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Guy]]: Jorge's behavior when Khasan's boyfriend comes to visit.
* FunnyForeigner: Jorge has moments of acting this way, as the only housemate who isn't originally from the United States.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Patrick and Cheyenne [[{{Irony}} often accuse one another of being selfish]], which causes plenty of tension between them.
* LongDistanceRelationship: Jorge's boyfriend still lives in Venezuela, which causes a strain in their relationship.
* NaiveNewcomer / TheTwink: Brandon is the youngest member of the cast, and his young age is often discussed by the housemates. He's easily the twinkiest of the housemates, but doesn't perfectly fit the trope.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Jorge and Khasan insist they're this, though many have pointed out that Jorge [[EveryoneCanSeeIt may or may not have feelings for Khasan]].
* PrettyBoy: Cheyenne is a professional model.
* WeightWoe: Justin's primary {{character arc}} in the first season, which culminates in him accepting his status as a [[TheBear bear]] and [[BigBeautifulMan feeling comfortable enough in his body]] to wear a [[BarelyThereSwimwear Speedo]].
* WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame: The show treats the ''entirety'' of [[{{Gayborhood}} Fire Island]] as this, which is a slight exaggeration. (To be fair, the place is literally called '''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fire]]''' Island.)
* YourCheatingHeart: Jorge takes on a "mistress" during relationship woes with his boyfriend, which raise a few eyebrows in the house.
