Gays and Halloween go together like the Irish and St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone can enjoy Halloween but, at the end of the day, it’s an LGBT holiday.
While the celebration of Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, is a centuries-old tradition, CNN contributor David Frum nailed it when he credited the LGBT community for making Halloween the celebration that it is today.
In a 2010 article for CNN.com, Frum wrote, “From the spread of disco in the 1970s — to the habit of paying money for sparkling waters such as Perrier — culminating in Halloween, gays have incubated and developed major cultural trends.”
