Why Easter Is SO Gay
Easter is like the drag queen of holidays, serving looks and treading the line between solemn and spectacular. For gay men, it&#;s the perfect occasion to unleash our creativity and showcase our vibrant essence, intertwined with the complexities of our relationship with Catholicism. The sheer drama of a resurrection, the theatricality of services, and the pomp of parades &#; It&#;s a queer extravaganza waiting to be decorated with those particular shades of you.
