When I fully came out of the closet, I discovered a new Halloween.

It is "the gay's" high holy day!

In Boston there were dances every night and everyone went all out on the costumes. All the bars were packed with costumes. A tour was necessary. Well, a tour was necessary for the drinking too.

I don't remember what I wore as a costume but I am pretty sure it wasn't drag unless it was clown drag. I had a really wonderful big red wig.

One could not repeat oneself year to year. So the wig probably only came out once. Then masks sufficed.

The last costume I remember is when John and I dressed as Hershey Kisses.

There is a history for gay Halloweens. You can find it here.

It is mostly about San Francisco, but back then we were all modeling ourselves after the trailblazers.
