Best halloween costumes for gay couples

Witch, please!

We all understand Halloween is the gayest holiday of the year.

You can’t tell me that you don’t see it. I mean, take a hasty look at all the LGBTQ Halloween parties that happen just across North America. California is especially renowned for its large celebrations like Halloween in the Castro and Halloweenie in LA. Plus, there are Wicked Manors in gay Fort Lauderdale in Florida, Gay Halloween on Church in Toronto, Spooky Bear in Provincetown… I promise I could depart on and on about these high-spirited events. Seriously, sometimes it feels enjoy Halloween was created with us Hallow-queens specifically in mind!  

So, when you’re ready to grab your closest ghoul friends for an exciting night of dancing and boos,you’ve got to make sure you hold the most sensational ensemble. This is exactly why we’re here to aid. Picking out

The only thing improved than finding the perfect Halloween costume is when there’s a complimenting costume idea for your significant other or best friend to wear alongside you. Here is a list of ideal Halloween costumes for queer couples featuring some LGBTQ+ icons from 2023 as well as some classic favourites.

 

1. Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens

There’s no denying the outrageous and adorable rapport between Aziraphale and Crowley, and there’s something particularly pleasurable about coordinating costumes with good and evil elements for Halloween. You just need to resolve who gets to wear all-black and effortlessly cool sunglasses and who instead wants to sport the iconic beige suit.

2. Bisexual Robin and Bisexual Superman

Who doesn’t love dressing up as a superhero? Marvel Studios made headlines in 2021 when Robin’s character confirmed his bisexual identity, and last November, Superman: Son of Kal-El comic book series featured a heartwarming coming-out scene between Clark Kent and his son, Jon. Why not honour these heroes with an adorable superhero couple’s costume?

Every year, my wife and I possess a goal of locking in our Halloween costumes in August — September 1 at the LATEST. This year, we changed our minds a limited times, but we finally settled on a good one. If you’re still struggling to figure out what you and your devote are going to be this year, fret not! I’ve got you covered with a bunch of lesbian Halloween couples costume ideas that are also easily to perform for all types of queer couples or can be adapted for throuples and polycules, too. You could also do these with a bestie rather than a loved one. We’ve got options for the pop culturally inclined as well as more conceptual options for the couples who get off on Halloween partygoers remarking on how clever their costumes are. I often prefer to strike a balance of BOTH: clever and pop culturally timely. I’m what they call a Halloween overachiever. Luckily, my wife is, too!
