Any time Black ppl say “I don’t like this, here’s why”

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is celebrating its 50th anniversary, so I wrote about the cinematic sanctuary it has provided for half a century, particularly in states without LGBTQIA+ protections.

50 years later, The Rocky Horror Picture Show still matters. It's a gathering point for the beautiful, the freaky, the rejected, and the fabulous.
