Two transgender people, a white middle-class street girl who fell in love with a family, a manicure aunt with AIDS, a street drug dealer, and one who was kicked out of the house for coming out of the closet. Young gay dancer, and his pickpocket boyfriend who slept on the street for months.

Discrimination has always existed, and the perspective of discrimination against LGBTQ groups by "normal people" is hardly opened in the play. In their community and turf, they can do anything and do whatever they want, dance on the pier, bloom in the dance, where they find a sense of belonging, unity, identity. They are such a normal natural existence!

LGBTQ is a group, as are older single men, women and youth; 2D cosplay is a group, and so are outdoor fitness enthusiasts. Differences between groups can be great, but there is at least one commonality within groups, and everyone is normal here. In modern society, individuality is less and less advocated. Special is a luxury, and it is a luxury with its own marginalized attributes.

I met a female friend who was 33 years old, never in a relationship and never married. People tend to be curious about the older unmarried young men and women around them. I have also asked this friend a lot of why, especially if she thinks she is special.

She said that after all these years, everyone around her will care more or less about her love life. She is not an unmarried person, but she has never met someone she wants to fall in love with; she cares too much about her friends. It felt like a burden, because she didn't feel that she was different from others.

blanca, who has AIDS, knows that her days are passing, she wants revolution, she wants to create a spiritual legacy, she wants to live in a respected and equal world now and for generations to come. Mother is a revolutionary. She appears in gay bars again and again, waiting for her own cup of Manhattan, which is freedom, dignity, and the future of the transgender at the bottom of the discrimination chain.

I see the spirit of resistance in blanca. She is fighting against the injustice in this world and against the life that has passed by; facing her child's missed opportunity to enter school, she chooses to fight hard. Facing a family that plagiarizes her creativity, she chooses She established herself as a sect, and in the face of repeated humiliation and even violence by the gay bar and the police, she chose to persist in resistance.

The pose moved me, when blanca told her children that if she had another chance, she would make a different choice, when the host uncle asked himself if there was any way to keep them even for a week, when angel took out the When a pair of red dancing shoes.

pose made me understand. No matter what role we are in, as long as we are in our own territory, we must strive to live out our own attitude.

May you be different, and may you be the same everywhere! Finally, toast that charred turkey to a Manhattan!

(Don't think I'm weird, I'm the same as you)
