my utopia
The drag queen from this photo has spoken up about the photo.
I won’t speak for all liberals, but I’d like to see a future where it isn’t a big deal for a woman in full modesty garb to sit next to a drag queen in NYC. It’s become a bit of a sensation, but her and I were just existing. The freedom to simply be yourself in a sea of people who aren’t like you is a freedom we all deserve.
The central irony is that this isn’t some hypothetical future–it’s just present day reality. This is a picture of two ordinary people going about their normal lives despite how haters want to politicize it lmao. So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”

Always reblog.
Worth repeating: This isn’t “the future liberals want.” This is the present we already have. And conservatives want (1) to convince you it’s not happening and that (2) we need to stop it (plz ignore that they already said it’s not real).
They’re not trying to prevent a future they don’t want. They’re trying to end freedoms that already exist, a cultural habit that’s already in practice: people just going about their business near other people who are different.
