Another q***r icon gone. First Dolly, now Tim Curry. The universe better pace itself.
Let's be real: before it was cool, before it was safe, before half of us were even born, Tim Curry put on the fishnets, the corset, the heels, and the eyeliner and made Dr. Frank-N-Furter the most iconic, unbothered, gender-bending menace to ever grace a screen. He didn't ask permission. He didn't play it safe. He just showed up, fabulous and feral, and changed what was possible for the rest of us.
You inspired generations of q***r, trans, gender nonconforming, and in-your-face flamboyant freaks. And for that, we owe you a Time Warp.
Do the pelvic thrust. Say his name loud. 💋
Tim Curry, 1946–2026
