Sneak Peek at The Advocate's Halloween issue

Good morning, folks. I found this delicious image in my inbox this morning and had to share it with you: it's the cover for the new issue of The Advocate, which asks if the gayest holiday around has been hijacked by fratboys and gang-bangers. The issue also includes an interview with out Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, a piece on riding out the financial doldrums, and much more ... and it's coming your way October 23rd.

Halloween is my favorite holiday of all by far, but even I haven't been to the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade in a decade and this year am going to a Guitar Hero party, which is just about the straightest Halloween event I've ever heard of. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

What do you folks think? Has Halloween lost its fairy magic?
