A picture of a Muslim woman sitting next to a drag queen on a subway in New York has gone viral on twitter. When a news programme asked people what they thought of the photo, responses ranged from
"Typical of New York,"
"Kind of what makes the city special";
"You find anyone and everyone and we just all live together"
"There are different people in the city and different walks of life"
What do you see in the photo
Where do you think it was taken?
What's happening?
explain the story
How are the people in the photo similar?
How are they different?
(you may have to explain to children what a drag queen is. You could say there is a famous American drag queen called Ru Paul who explains drag queens dress up and change who they are; "today I'm this, now I'm a cowboy, now I'm this. I will do whatever I want to at any time and change - whatever!")
What does the photo show about New York?
Are either person in the photo worried about sitting next to each other?
What can we learn from the people in the photo?
What do the comments from people in New York tell us about the city?
What can we learn from New York?
Why is this story about No Outsiders?
