It is what it always was, a day to dress up and get free candy FOR MINORS. Adults may have fancy dress parties but it is not or has never been the weirdo fest alleged by the left wing propaganda rags.
Then you are sadly uninformed.
Just next door to me in Dallas is a MASSIVE public homosexual Halloween street party. This is repeated in dozens of large cities nationwide. It is indeed a coast-to-coast weirdo fest.
I suppose we should ban Mardi Gras too.
Avoid the Castro distrct in San fran on Halloween.
