(FOX 11 Los Angeles) Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026: TMZ has reported that English actor and singer Tim Curry has died at the age of 80. Tim Curry -- who starred as the sweet transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the musical and subsequent movie version of The Rocky Horror Show (1975) and Pennywise among a slew of other roles -- has passed away due to long-term illness that left him unable to walk and clinging to his privacy about his relationships as a confirmed bachelor up until the age of 80.
Curry started his career in the West End production of the musical Hair (1968–1969). He went on to be nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his roles as The Pirate King in The Pirates of Penzance (1982) and King Arthur in Spamalot (2006–2007).
On Broadway, he earned three Tony Award nominations, his first for Best Actor in a Play for his role as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Amadeus (1981) and followed by two nominations for Best Actor in a Musical for My Favorite Year (1992) and Spamalot (2005).
Curry received acclaim for his onscreen roles, Rooster Hannigan in Annie (1982), Darkness in Legend (1985), Wadsworth in Clue (1985), the Concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers (1993), and Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island (1996).
He also took roles in The Worst Witch (1986), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Congo (1995), Charlie's Angels (2000), Scary Movie 2 (2001), and Kinsey (2004).
On television, Curry is best known for having portrayed Pennywise in the miniseries It (1990) and was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for playing a family of Hillbillies in Tales from the Crypt (1993). More

Zionist Leslie "Lex" Herbert Wexner [3] (born Sept. 8, 1937) is a Jewish Ohio American billionaire, alleged child molester, businessman, and pro-Israel political activist, and the owner of L Brands, a sexy chain of top American products appealing to kids and frequented by adults.
In Feb. 2026, of the relatively few Epstein Files ever released, some reveal that the FBI listed Wexner as a potential Epstein co-conspirator [7], but Lex has denied helping Epstein's offend or being with him during his/their crimes [8].
Wexner is the co-founder and chair emeritus of Bath & Body Works, Inc. [4] He has been the principal in Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Canadian La Senza, among several other retail corporations appealing to young girls.
In 1991, Wexner and fellow Canadian Jewish billionaireCharles Bronfman formed an informal pro-Israel lobby group, called the Study Group or "Mega Group." The organization is said to have lobbied for Zionist U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East alongside a cover of "philanthropic" activities.
LITIGATION: In January 2021, an L Brands shareholder filed a lawsuit alleging L Brands and board members including Wexner created an "entrenched culture ofmisogyny, bullying, and harassment," alleging they were aware of child molestation and sex trafficking crimesbeing committed by Jeffrey Epstein, breaching Wexner's fiduciary duty to the company and devalued the brand [73].
On July 30, 2021, L Brands [implicitly yet not legally admitting guilt] agreed to a $90 million settlement to resolve derivative lawsuits stemming from claims that combine Ohio and Delaware actions [74].
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein: In April 2026, several women who were victims of Epstein filed lawsuits against both Wexner and the Wexner Foundation, alleging that Wexner gave $200 million to [Israeli operative] Epstein from 1987 to 2007 thus enabling the creation of Epstein's sex trafficking [child rape, exploitation, and prostitution] network [75]. More
Between 1987 and 2007, Wexner retained Jeffrey Epstein as his principal financial manager, whom he granted significant control of his finances, including full power of attorney.
Epstein reportedly earned a significant fraction of his billion-dollar wealth through his services provided to Wexner [5, 6]. More
The great Dr. Joel Wallach, Ph.D. (criticalhealthnews.com) asserts that all ailments are caused by nutritional deficiencies, not inherited genetics. His proof? He can cure them with supplementation. He is the only person to prevail in a lawsuit with the FDA for making nutritional claims about supplements (micronutrients, trace minerals, vitamins). He cures many people of many of the most common and difficult conditions.
Treatment? Surgery and flag making is better!
Dr. Wallach solved the SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) crisis that is no longer talked about because he advocated for the supplementation of baby formula so that it doesn't happen now. He solved the mass coral die off, which is happening due to ocean acidity more than temperature. It was brought on by the building of many dams rather than allowing the normal outflow of fresh water eroded base minerals into the seas.
We want our kids to be gay and choose genders!
He can cure diabetes, warns against the use of statin drugs, praises natural cholesterol (the root of testosterone and a natural antioxidant product of the body), has a great deal of criticism for Big Pharma and mainstream for-profit medical care, and he even solved one of the biggest mysteries of our day: Why are so many kids being born with transgender tendencies?
Tramp stamp tattoos?
Dolphins: the gayest animal in the sea
Presumably it has something to do with gender, sexuality, orientation, preference, and feeling at home in the body we are born into. The cause? A deficiency in one trace mineral during a critical period of gestation. If the mother is deficient, this will happen. But the news tells us to praise it, cheer it on, be happy for it.
There are also synthetic chemicals in the water, air, and soil (collectively called our environment). These forever chemicals and plastic byproducts mimicking hormones also have an impact. Other scientists do not talk about his research, patents, therapies, and procedures. Meanwhile, he and his affiliated organizations keep curing people. And everyone else does what?
(Frameline) SECOND NATURE: From homosexual penguins to sex-transitioning fish, contemporary scientists have been zealously studying animal behavior and anatomy and exposing the myth of the gender binary. Turns out the natural world is way more diverse and complex than Darwin led us to believe! Director Drew Denny takes the nature documentary to a whole new level in this eye-opening and entertaining expedition. Executive produced by Elliot Page. Special Sneak Preview Screening at Frameline: Frameline48 (frameline.org)
Second Nature: Elliot (formerly Ellen) Page on new film exploring animal world beyond the binary
Biology? I'm fully who I am. (Time)
(Democracy Now!)
June 24, 2026: A new documentary explores a growing body of scientific research documenting the wide range of gender and sexual diversity found in the animal kingdom, from pregnant male seahorses to matriarchal monkey troops.
Second Nature, directed by queer filmmaker Drew Denny, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page, who says he joined the project because "I was so moved by it and found it so affirming as a trans and queer person."
Learning about animal life beyond binary concepts of sex and gender was life-changing, Denny shares about her inspiration for the film. "I finally felt in my body, for the first time, that I belong here on Earth, just like anybody else."

Christian gay conversion therapy: the law?
Who gets to define "normal" or "natural"?
"Conversion therapy" is the pseudoscientific practice of attempting to change an individual's sexual orientation, romantic preference, gender identity, or gender expression to align with heteronormative (cisgender) ideals. Conversion therapy is said to be ineffective at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity and may (and frequently does) cause significant long-term psychological harm. The position of evidence-based medicine and clinical guidance is that sexual orientations like homosexuality and bisexuality as well as gender variance (nonbinary, pansexual, transsexual, asexual) are natural and acceptable aspects of human sexuality and gender identity [1, 2, 3].

(Buddha's Wisdom) Transgendering the deva (shining one, god) Avalokiteshvara "who hears the cries of the world" into the Chinese devi (goddess) of compassion Kwan Yin (Guanyin Bodhisattva)
Laurie Bag' and Susie Lee began a movement. Earlybirds Club, a party for women who want to dance and get to bed on time, is headed to Philly.
Many describe that party -- which ends at an appropriate 10:00 pm -- as a form of therapy and a rare chance to exhale and reconnect.
Can I bring my dad, Elon Musk? (Vivian Wilson)
Going out to a club and dancing until 3:00 am is an early 20’ right of passage. For many women and queer folks, the ritual usually involves putting on a slightly too tight outfit, wearing heels that just may kill feet, drinking cheap alcohol without any regard for the next day’s hangover, and sleeping in well past noon.
But then the years pile on, and so do responsibilities -- as careers, partners, and kids get in the way. The time for such shenanigans tends to fall by the wayside. Still, shouldn’t those carefree, joy-filled nights of dancing stay on the table, no matter what our age?
Smiles and bubble guns can be expected at Earlybirds parties (Meagan Shuptar/billypenn.com)

Start bi, leave gay? Happy Pride Nights
That’s where Earlybirds Club is swooping in to fill the void. The concept, dreamed up 18 months ago in Chicago by friends Laura Baginski and Susie Lee, is a series of dance parties for GenX and Millennial women, lesbian, trans, and nonbinary people (LGBTQIA+), where drinking is optional, one can wear whatever one wants (orthopedic sneakers and fanny packs welcome), and leaving well before midnight is encouraged.
It's not lesbianism...Why does it need a label?
Already, the club has spread into multiple cities with sold-out tickets in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island.
