Queer graffiti

Transgender renegade art is quite visible here, but I have not yet seen anyone who "reads" truly differently. Gender norms are so strong here that I get stared at-- sometimes long, hard, and rudely-- with my short hair.
I'm sure I'm not traveling in the right circles, but transgenderism seems more a philosophical notion rather than a lived-in experience, from what I've seen in my limited time here.
The stencil reads: "Transgress your gender; liberate your gender."

It's intriguing that in this country that does allow for gay marriage there is a voice for the [queer] abolishment of the institution altogether.

Kind of a nice thought, no? Not just that we are all the same (homo), but all one.
