Happy Endings
• New documentary chronicles the lives of women trying to stay true to their Islamic faith and honest with their gay identities. Apparently not all Jihad is bad…
• An increasing number of Catholics are discovering loving their gay children is far more rewarding than ostracizing them with hate. Apparently not all Catholics are bigots…
• Tired of going out on Halloween and seeing every gay man dressed as either a sailor boy or in drag? Not all Halloween costumes are tired cliches…
A special thanks to all you Queerty readers for making my latest stint as this blog’s Guest Editor such a treat. Happy Halloween everyone! Have fun, be safe–and always remember: not all trolls are Internet lurkers!

Am I the only one finding dressing up like an Indian prince for Halloween a little racist? I know I wouldn’t go in black face as an African.
Good job subbing, Greg, I enjoyed your posts 8^)
to Scott: Yes
Scott, I don’t think dressing as someone from another culture is automatically racist. Blackface has an entire racist history behind it in a way that an Indian costume simply doesn’t (not that it’s not possible to be an anti-Indian racist; just that a headdress and marriage spot doesn’t automatically convey that).
You probably wouldn’t think it racist if Korean up in, say, a kilt.
