Tim Curry (1946-2026) 🕊️🖤

Even if you remember him as Pennywise in It (1990), Wadsworth in Clue (1996), Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island (1996), Tim Curry's breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a legendary performance. He originated the role in 1973 on stage, and brought Frank-N-Furter to the screen in 1975.

For many of us, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has defined the fringe, freaky, and sometimes foolish corners of gender and sexuality. Live performances and showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show are nights of laughter and song; it's a safe haven for our LGBTQ+ community. If you have the chance to catch The Rocky Horror Picture Show live- take it.

Hannah Ruth couldn't have said it any better: "Rocky Horror Picture Show was the first piece of media that I ever saw that made me feel like it was okay to have a freaky gender- to just be an absolute gender freak, and do it unapologetically. That movie, that musical- and Tim Curry's Dr. Frank-N-Furter in particular- changed my life."

Tim Curry passed away yesterday, August 25th. His passing was announced earlier today. We honor his legacy and live on not dreaming, but being.

Love you, California 🖤

We will always love you, Dolly 🕊️🤍 Thank you for your lifelong support, laughter, and advocacy. Thank you for reminding us to be who we are on purpose.

"For LGBTQ+ fans, Dolly was always more than a country music superstar. She was a safe space wrapped in sequins. A woman whose music, humor, kindness, and unapologetic, larger-than-life personality made generations of q***r people feel seen, welcomed, and celebrated." - Adam Dupuis for Instinct Magazine (2026) 🏳️‍🌈

DARLING, I WANT MY GAY RIGHTS NOW!

It's Marsha P. Johnson's birthday today 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Born on August 24, 1945, Marsha "Pay It No Mind" Johnson was a revolutionary activist, transcestor, and friend. She fought for our rights during the Stonewall Uprising, fed and housed transgender youth, and cared for friends during the AIDS crisis in New York.

"I don't think you should be ashamed of anybody you know that has AIDS," she said, "You should stand as close to them as you can and help them out as much as you can. I'm a strong believer in that and that's why I try to do that for everyone I know who has the virus."

Her work as an activist, friend, and mentor is pivotal in our work today.

Thank you, Marsha. We miss you every day, we celebrate you every day. Happy 81st birthday 🏳️‍⚧️🩷
