Boo... Halloween escapes for gay travelers

Halloween is a made-to-order holiday for gay travelers.  It is a great opportunity to party and let your freak flag fly. 

Here are three spooktacular picks:

New Orleans - Only Southern Decadence and the Gay Mardi Gras attract more gay visitors to New Orleans. Halloween brings gay revelers from across the nation and around the world for a long weekend of events like only the "Big Easy" can provided.

Toronto - It is a whole week's worth of fun in Canada during Toronto's Halloweek on Church Street in the heart of Toronto’s Queer Village. This Halloween celebration is full of tricks, treats and more eye candy than you can gobble in one glance.

West Hollywood - The West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval has been a tradition for more than two decades. Nearly half a million spectators and creatively (and often scantily) clad participants attend. A series of events lead up to the Carnaval. 

Note: Are you aware of other great gay Halloween events?  If so, leave your thoughts in the comment section.
