ABSTRACT
The notion surrounding futurity and its implications in the development of queer theory present a set of challenges that question the current normative political engagement with gender and sexuality. Utopianism is the movement in the pursuit of a virtuality that is already real and that happens every day in and out of official recognition. Although utopia as focus of academic enquiry first emerged in the 1960s, fascination with this concept roots back in mythological novels of literary nature and, later on, in a number of political and philosophical commentaries that provide insights into what was considered utopian at different times within different realities. In order for utopian ethics to be sustainable, the perspective from which people gaze out must change radically, and it ought to be a perspective that does not succumb to external validation or recognition, but is legitimated by mere being.
