Keeping this community built on rebellion prepared us for the backlash we see now
had frightened me for some time. However, after the anti-drag bills, I realized that this is just the beginning.
That realization was soul-crushing. I had been looking forward to this for years, I had already started talking to doctors. But I must do what is right for me. One of the only plans I kept in the weeks following my decision was to go see Rocky Horror with my friends. I went to Theat Basie Center Cinemas in Red Bank New Jersey for my tenth time at Rocky.
Hearing Tim Curry’s voice fill my ears, I had an almost religious experience. At that moment, I was connected to every other person who had ever seen. It was the memorial show for Sal Piro, Rocky Horror Picture Show fan club founder and president after his death in January. I thought of all the people that we had lost because of AIDS, whose stories will never get heard. I thought of Sal Piro, who had dedicated his life to creating a community for all the freaks in society, and at that moment, I realized that we would get through this.
