Sexual harassment claims, leaked emails dominate last weeks of gay Republican Carl DeMaio’s congressional race: “Maybe the only certain thing about the final weeks of the 52nd Congressional District race is that an angry former campaign staffer without a nondisclosure agreement is a major headache for Republican candidate Carl DeMaio. Todd Bosnich, DeMaio’s former policy director, says he was fired for telling DeMaio to stop sexually harassing him.

Last weekend, Towleroad hit The Big Easy for Halloween New Orleans!

We were so excited to participate this year as a media sponsor and our crew was headquartered outside OZ bar each day at the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets in the French Quarter where the revelry that New Orleans is famous for continued day and night.

Our Bourbon Street gallery features photos we took in and around the gayest intersection in NOLA, and inside OZ bar. We were happy to meet so many Towleroad readers and look forward to see you again next year.

Also, coming up shortly we’ll have galleries of both the Friday night NEON party at Republic nightclub and the main ‘Descent’ costume ball where there was plenty of sexiness, skin, drag, and devilry to be found.

Halloween New Orleans is one of the largest and most amazing party events of the season and the weekend, now in its 31st year, is one of the only 100% donation/volunteer event weekends left in the U.S.. Project Lazarus, a home in New Orleans which provides healthcare and support services for men and women with AIDS, is the sole beneficiary of all the funds that are raised.

The weekend includes four days of events including a black tie ball, two big parties, and a brunch and a traditional brass band Second Line parade through the city.
