How the 'Gay Halloween' trend celebrates niche humour with creative costumes

This Halloween, a new trend has taken over social media: Gay Halloween. If it hasn’t popped up on your feed yet, this is the latest wave in queer culture where people—predominantly within the LGBTQ+ community—are showing off their most niche, hyper-specific Halloween costumes, rooted in humour and offbeat pop culture references. It’s a trend that celebrates queer creativity and the unique cultural touchstones that often feel like inside jokes or coded signals.

Take, for example, a costume inspired by singer Chappell Roan. While Roan herself might be a popular costume choice, Gay Halloween levels up the joke.

Take X user @motticomedy who dressed up as Roan and a literal passenger seat, a playful nod to the lyrics in her song ‘Casual’. It’s this next-level thinking that has made the trend. i hate gay halloween, what do you mean you’re chappell roan and a passenger seat? pic.twitter.com/mI9zPRwTD5— motti (@motticomedy) October 26, 2024The origins of Gay Halloween can be traced back to 2022 when an early meme poked fun at the specificity of gay humour, referencing the film Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

Tulsi Gabbard Has Lauded Religious Leader Accused of Running 'Abusive' Cult
Donald Trump to serve as the director of national intelligence, but she has faced suggestions from those close to her that her political ambitions stem from the Science of Identity Foundation, a group founded in Hawaii that has been labeled by some, including former members, as a cult.Gabbard, a former Democratic member of Congress who ran for president in 2020, grew up attending schools run by followers of the group's leader, Chris Butler, and has described her religious practices as "transcendental Hinduism," a term recommended to her by Butler according to a piece in The New Yorker in 2017.Former members who don't speak so fondly of the Foundation and others close to Gabbard have said the group's influence could be affecting her political motives, according to the report. People have said the Science of Identity Foundation forbids people to speak publicly about the group, requires people to lie face down when Butler enters a room and even sometimes eat his nail clippings or "spoonfuls" of the sand he walked on, The New Yorker reported."I know what an abusive, misogynistic, homophobic, germophobic, narcissistic nightmare Chris Butler is.

Alex Consani on being the first trans model to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway: “It’s really impactful”
A post shared by Alex Consani (@alexconsani)That was a really impactful moment. It’s crazy, though, because I didn’t even realize I was the first [trans model] to walk until after I walked the show. I thought that Valentina [Sampaio, who also walked in the show] had already walked a while ago, so having that in my mind took the pressure away.It’s really impactful to be [among] the first [to walk for Victoria’s Secret] because I’m able to take the hate.
