THE MANY QUEER JOYS OF HALLOWEEN, THE GAYT HOLIDAY

The NFL's first out gay player mak the perfect stume for jocks this year! Put on a slightly oversized su, and add a green flower to your lapel (spired by Osr Wil, who ed the flowers as a symbol for gay men when homosexualy was still illegal) and you're this year's most talked-about Met Gala look! Love, Simon was probably one of the bt gay rom-s to be released the past few years, so who better to drs up as for Halloween than as Simon Spier himself!

Give me your fearsome ghouls and your flamg gays, your slutty zombi and your zany queens, for is time for Halloween. Still thk our "liftyle" is to blame for all that's wrong wh the Dallas, Texas, I easily fet how odd I am to some people simply bee I am gay. (If we show those ghouls a good time, you never know who might jt stay gay town permanently.
