Costume Ideas For Gay Couples

Sure, you could go as a gender bent version of something less cool, but why?

As far as couples costumes go, queer couples usually get the short end of the stick. More often than not, costumes, especially those based on pop culture, tend to be gender specific for straight couples. However, I was able to wrack my brain and come up with a few ideas for LGBTQ+ couples.

1. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (DC Comics)

Harley and Ivy are arguably a classic for lesbian couples and are especially great for outgoing ladies. For Harley, any combo of black, red and pigtails will do the trick, especially accompanied with a New York accent and baseball bat or hammer. For Poison Ivy, any form fitting dark green outfit will work, although corsets are a favorite among cosplayers.

2. Cecil Palmer and Carlos The Scientist (Welcome to Nightvale)

Since Carlos and Cecil don't have any appearance described in canon, this can be left up to interpretation a bit. However, Cecil is generally viewed as well dressed, wearing dark clothes, vests, and often shades of purple. Carlos, on the other hand, is usually drawn in fanart as wearing jeans, flannels, and of course a lab coat.

3. Ruby and Sapphire (Steven Universe)

Red workout gear and a blue dress are all you really need for this costume, but feel free to add hair dye and body paint if you're super committed.

4. Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens (Hamilton)

With the popularity of the musical, colonial-America inspired costumes are everywhere this year. If you're a theater buff, go as Hamilton and Laurens for Halloween.

5. Princess Bubblegum and Marceline (Adventure Time)

For a girly and grungy couple, Marceline and Bubblegum will be easy to replicate. All you need is a black tank top, jeans and boots, with an optional guitar, for Marceline and a pink dress and crown for Princess Bubblegum.

6. Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson (Glee)

This is a great last minute costume since you can use clothes already in your closet. All you need is designer, or knock off clothes, gelled hair and a decent singing voice.

7. Prisoners from Orange Is the New Black

This can be a super cheap costume if you're on a budget. Just get some beige scrubs and name tags. Viola, you're a prisoner from Litchfield.

8. Walter White and Jesse Pinkman (Breaking Bad)

Hazmat suits, gas masks and goggles are surprisingly easy to find at Halloween specialty stores. For added authenticity, offer friends rock candy in small baggies - but maybe don't hand it out to kids.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
