Halloween: Our Gay High Holy Day

As Halloween approaches my clients see how much I love the holiday as my office is decorated generously with pumpkins, fall leaves, a Bates Motel sign, a ghost, body parts scattered around, Chucky doll in a casket, and more.

I often call Halloween the Gay High Holy Day. There are a few high holy days and if you are Gay Orthodox you must commit to closing your business and considering the day as a Sabbath or consider yourself a sinner.

Some of the other high holy days in addition to Halloween are when Cher, Diana Ross, Madonna, Bette Midler, and Barbara Streisand come to town. This year, on the gay calendar, in Michigan, the days are coming closer together and I could not be more excited. Halloween is October 31, Diana Ross is coming to the Opera House on November 18 and Cher is coming to the Palace on November 20, 2004. Gay neighborhoods will be ghost towns as we flock to our places of worship to see these divas.

Of course I am dating myself mentioning these particular divas. However, I am gay orthodox and must follow the gay bible which is to close down shop at sunset on these days and pay respects to these beautiful gay icons! I suggest you do the same if you want to go to gay heaven.
