Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist.
The photograph was taken at 2017’s Capital TransPride (@DCTransPride365). Here’s a 2018 version.

The future has to exist somewhere, and it’s usually here, in Washington, DC, USA, with the highest proportion of LGBTQ humans of any State, and the most protections in support.
In the last century they used to say this about another State, in this one, it’s As DC Goes, so Goes the Nation.

A transgender woman reported being kicked out Cuba Libre on Friday night after being asked to provide an ID to use the bathroom.
