HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻 On this spooky day, we’re reminiscing on all the fun had at Rainbow Alley’s Monster Bash earlier this month.⁠
⁠
This year’s costume party allowed nearly 50 queer youth to celebrate Halloween with their peers in an affirming, supportive space.⁠
⁠
The Center’s Coordinator of Youth Services, Vincent Wong (they/them) said “I think it’s really special for youth to have a queer Halloween event to attend. I didn’t see a single person who wasn’t in costume, and I feel like you can only find that kind of spirit and enthusiasm for dressing up at an event for queer folks.”⁠
⁠
When asked about their favorite moment from the event, Vincent said “A kid dressed up as Link [from The Legend of Zelda games] came up to me after [the costume contest] and said ‘It doesn’t matter that I didn’t win anything because I still had fun, and that’s all that matters.’”⁠
