I first saw this movie when I was 12. It was my introduction to transgender/non-binary everything, and opened my eyes to a world that I didn’t know existed. I’m grateful for that.
As an aside, TIL that this was Tim Curry’s debut role in a film. He had been acting in theater prior to that (including the theater performance of The Rocky Horror Show), but this was his first on the screen.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Film Forum will forever be in my heart as the place of resistance for all us #GenX queers and misfits during the genocidal Reagan-Bush years.
when they thought Black & Latine trans women & gay men were the only victims, Bush and Reagan said #AIDS victims deserved to die for being sins.
that’s why TRHPS was so important during that era. Tim rewrote that movie with his defiantly ambisexual performance. TRHPS taught us how to carve spaces of #LGBTQI resistance.
