A lot of drag queens claim Halloween as their Drag-versary because it allows people to become a character that they otherwise would never have to courage to be in daily life. I think that is true of BDSM. It allows us to act and dress in a way that is not accepted by regular society. It is a transgressive act to do and be how one feels on the inside.

Halloween has often been called Straight Pride Day for this reason. Straight people act a lot like LGBTQIA+ people do on Pride- expressing themselves without fear of judgement.
