Welcome to another week, Out readers!
As Halloween approaches, the gay parties are taking off! Hot Homo Halloween parties are raging across the country, from New York to Los Angeles, and we've got all the best photos!
Grindr's Garden of Otherworldly Delights party took place in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. It featured musical guests Ashnikko and Slayyyter, as well as drag queens like Dawn, Luxx Noir London, and Aquaria.
We've got all the best photos from the party, including all the faeries, satyrs, nymphs, swamp monsters, aliens, and other sexy creatures!
Across the country in WeHo, another group of drag queens, monsters, ghosts, and gouls will be getting their sexy on this Friday at the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval.
The West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval started in 1987 and stretches for more than a mile through the heart of the gay haven on Santa Monica Boulevard. This year, there are events like DJs and food trucks, as well as plenty of parties and installations in bars and spaces throughout the neighborhood!
