💔

Tim Curry, whose unforgettable performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" made him a beloved q***r cultural icon, has died at 80.
⁠
For generations of LGBTQ+ fans, "Rocky Horror" was more than a movie. Its midnight screenings became spaces for freedom, community and unapologetic self-expression. ⁠
⁠
His work will continue inspiring people to live by the message he made immortal: “Don’t dream it, be it.”

💔🌈 Today, we say goodbye to a true legend — Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton passed away today at the age of 80, leaving behind a legacy that reaches far beyond music. (apnews.com⁠)

For generations of LGBTQIA+ people, Dolly was more than a country music superstar. She was a reminder that you could be exactly who you are and still be worthy of love, respect and acceptance.

Dolly consistently stood up for LGBTQIA+ people:

🌈 In 2009, she spoke openly about her large gay following and said she believed people should be allowed to “be who they are and love them as they are.” (transcripts.cnn.com⁠)

🌈 In 2011, after a le***an visitor reported being treated poorly at Dollywood Splash Country because of a marriage-equality shirt, Dolly apologized and reaffirmed that all kinds of families were welcome at her park. (advocate.com⁠)

🌈 She supported marriage equality, famously saying that gay couples should be allowed to marry. (transcripts.cnn.com⁠)

🌈 In 2023, when asked about anti-transgender legislation in Tennessee, Dolly focused on compassion rather than politics, saying she had transgender, gay and le***an people in her family and circle of employees and that she loved them and did not judge them. (api.politifact.com⁠)

🌈 She also spoke out for transgender people’s right to live as themselves and famously said, “I don’t judge people.” (advocate.com⁠)

And perhaps most importantly, Dolly never seemed interested in telling people who they were supposed to be.

She simply encouraged people to be themselves, love one another and treat each other with kindness.

For the LGBTQIA+ community, that mattered.

Today, we remember the music, the laughter, the rhinestones and the enormous heart behind it all. But we also remember an ally who used her platform to remind millions of people that love is bigger than judgment.

Thank you, Dolly, for making the world a little brighter and a lot more accepting. 🌈💖

Rest peacefully, Dolly. Your voice may be gone, but your message of love will never be.

🕊️🎶🌈 Forever a legend. Forever loved.
