October 1988

Halloween comes to us as a relic of
ancient history. It was one of four annual
sacred days. Judy Grahn writes in her book
Another Mother Tongue, “Great fires were
lit on these four holidays, the chief of them
being Halloween, originally called Winter
Even, New Year’s Eve, for the Fairies
ended their year on October 31.”

The significance of Halloween is surely
lost on the many heterosexual adults who
find themselves escorting youngsters from
door-to—door for treats. For the Gay Com-
munity Halloween is a celebration to end
all celebrations. This is a night of cross
dressing and costume parades.

Time is running out. Get those creative
juices flowing! How will you dress and
where will you parade? There are dances at
Pearl’s and Colors and parties in the homes
of friends. Remember this is our New
Year’s Eve, this is our holiday, so don’t _
miss our annual celebration of fun.
