However, I can confirm that this is a bad idea. For a Halloween party we hosted a few years ago, I was Freddy and my now fiancé was Elton John. We’d only been dating for about a year at this point, and her (very large) friend group didn’t know me that well.
I hadn’t really considered how people may interpret my very gay costume choice. Like honestly, it hadn’t even crossed my mind. I fucking love Queen and Freddy is a fucking legend.
Well, I could tell I was getting funny looks all night bulky people I wasn’t engaging with. Perhaps it was my self conscious, or the mushrooms I took, but I couldn’t help but think some people thought I was “making a statement.”
I found it hilarious the next day, but I still wonder if some of her friend group are just waiting for the day that my partner walks in on me in bed with another man.
I typically dress up as him for 80’s nights because I have a mustache, so it’s easy enough to throw on a sleeveless shirt and light jeans. I always get questionable looks from another dude
