[note] Why do queer folk like Halloween?

Hey folks!

Robert has also dragged me into the quagmire of the Outlaws blog. I've never written in "blog style," so we'll see how this goes.

Now that we're in the fourth day of the five day extended Halloween party season, I've started to wonder why so many of my queer folk love Halloween. I'm sure the answer has something to do with its sexualization, breaking of social norms, and masked identities. It's as though the whole country, for one night (or 5 nights in Ann Arbor), becomes a little bit queer. What a delightfully scary sight.

if by "queer" you meant sluts, then yes, that seems to be the case.
