New ‘Gay Men Only’ Campground Faces Backlash After Banning Trans Men
The owner now promises no penis checks, but some gay men are already cancelling their memberships in solidarity with trans men. February 22 2021 2:50 PM EST
The owner of a private campground in Michigan catering exclusively to gay men caused controversy when he declared the property will ban transgender men when they officially open later this year. Brian Quinn posted to Facebook that the membership-only Camp Boomerang RV Park and Campground in Orleans about 50 miles northwest of Lansing will only admit entry to men presenting as male and bearing a penis along with a state-issued identification listing their gender as male, although he later confirmed that no penis checks will be conducted prior to entry.
