Glamping Forward

The gay outdoors is not a metaphor.

It’s a measured phenomenon: LGBTQ+ people are the most active outdoor recreation cohort in America, outpacing every other group by a wide margin. Sixty percent of gay men are out there — hiking, camping, running the trail nobody marked.

Personally, I love the outdoors behind a gorgeous plate glass window, but okay.

Is there a hot tub somewhere?

Jupiter 3 hovers over the campsite the way it always does — not a sighting, just a fact of the sky here. Two men glow orange in a forest lit like a postcard from 1962. A VW bus, a water bottle, a Blue Moon standing guard over all of it.

Outdoor AC should be a thing.
