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.

So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”
