Btw, if you’re 18+ in the USA, DONT FORGET TO VOTE by Tuesday if you haven’t already.
I don’t like to bring up politics on here or really in my stories, but I’ve been listening to hella musical soundtracks today (I’m a theater girlie✨) and there was a common theme throughout.
Whether it was Rent, Back to the Future, Some like it Hot, or Hairspray—there is always a focus on the effects of the marginalized communities or “outsiders” due to the state of society. Black and brown ppl, LGBT ppl, people who just don’t conform to the norms of society. Which is a common theme in most musicals, but ig it just hits a little different since we’re so close to Election Day.
The final song in the hairspray movie that plays over the credits talks about how far we’ve come, but how far we still have to go. And with how close the presidential race is between the two candidates this year, we’re way too close to taking a step backwards once again.
So yeah, vote if you can and are able. And if you’re voting for trump, unfollow me :)
