About Queer Theory: The Future Is Queer

“shake my future with a kaleidoscope of tunes
play some other melody and bliss me out
of ignorance let my mind expand with a question
and seeking the answers shake my future
shake my future shake my future
in a triangle of tangential tirades and beckon me
into a sandwich of yes we can and hope”
- Shake My Future, Dorothea Smartt

"In the future nobody will ever be scared
to walk into a bathroom, or any room. Ever."
In the Future, Jay Hulme
