Damian and I took advantage of the beautiful weather -- and the fact that we celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday -- by attending Second Sunday, a monthly gay outing in Central Park's Sheep Meadow. Although it was my first time attending the sanctioned event, it was a bittersweet experience that took me back to the late 1990s when my late friend Larry Brickman and I would go the park every weekend to check out boys. (It's not a coincidence that Second Sundays are located where they are -- that was always where the boys are!) As you can see , the atmosphere is as friendly as it is titillating. (Damian, who was eager to even out his Monte Carlo farmer's tan[!], ran into a grad school friend he hadn't seen in over a decade and I even recognized people from my G Lounge days.) There's something special about being surrounded by your peers -- and for gay people, it's unique when drugs and alcohol aren't involved as is often the case in bars and clubs. More photos BELOW.

P.S.
And look who we ran into -- I'm sorry, whom -- en route: None other than Grammar Table owner/operator Ellen Jovin, who was outside the New Plaza Cinema, where her "Rebel With a Clause" documentary is now screening! Info HERE.
