Spooky Slaying: A Female Gay Perspective on Halloween

The History of Halloween: A Celebration of Self-Expression

Halloween, a holiday often associated with costumes and candy, has its roots in ancient festivals honoring the dead. But for many in the LGBTQ+ community, it's also a time to celebrate self-expression and individuality.

As a female gay person, I've always felt drawn to Halloween's themes of transformation and empowerment. It's a night where people can shed their inhibitions and become whoever they want to be – a feeling that's especially important for those who have been marginalized or oppressed.

As the holiday approaches, I'm reminded of how important representation is for our community. Unfortunately, many mainstream Halloween movies and TV shows still lack diverse characters and storylines.
