Laverne Cox Endorsed Hillary Clinton in a New Video Campaign

In a new video released by Hillary Clinton campaign team, Laverne Cox launched its full support for the Democratic candidate for the presidency, arguing that "it is the only presidential candidate who will really fight for us."

The video also contains the highlights of the promotion Hillary Clinton did for the LGBTQ community, including making it easier for transgender people to change their passport and his UN speech in which he stated, "gay rights they are human rights. "

Cox also criticized the Republican Party, in its view, constantly trying to deprive minorities and voters of the working class, citing the passage HB2 in North Carolina, for example. What we see unfortunately in the Republican Party, it is party that has always sought to deprive people of color, deprive workers, LGBT people, to take control of women their bodies, and that's just something I cannot stand, said Cox.


Despite the approval of Cox could have been intended to push the blue vote LGBTQ community, you may not be needed this boost. A recent poll NBC News / Survey Monkey concluded that voters overwhelmingly supported Hillary Clinton on LGBT Trump. The survey also showed 59 percent of respondents viewed Clinton favorably, compared with 17 percent of Trump.

While the elections this year has been particularly controversial - and despite a series of political setbacks of the LGBTQ community recently met - Cox urged the community to remember the importance of standing together and keep pushing forward. There are so many things that work to divide and separate us, but we still have to fight. LGBT rights are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Tran’s rights are human rights Cox said. I would tell all my friends who want to sit on the bench that their voice matters.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

The basic mission of every remake is to justify their own existence. For The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Let again warp time, two-hour special aired Thursday on Fox and starring Laverne Cox. The burden is even heavier - and not just for the cumbersome subtitle. The original Rocky Horror Picture Show is the definition
of a cult classic. A musical parody B and holding down the pansexual that crashed in the initial version of the torn box office in 1975. The film was anchored by seductively bonkers performance of Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, cross dressing, cannibal mad scientist from outer space.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Lasted since in midnight screenings across the country. Where fans dress in costume, flush toilet paper on the screen and yell back lines with the devotion of the parishioners reciting
Psalms. It is more than a film. It is a shared geek ritual. In other words, it is almost impossible to reproduce, particularly in a conventional transmission system formula.

When converting to Cox, transgender actress best known in Hollywood as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Fox is clearly looking for news, but the result feels ill at ease not updated. Directed by Kenny Ortega, the director behind the hackneyed High School Musical Disney is a very smooth remake wiping charm messy and low budget of the original while losing its obvious flaws in relief.

As a special two-hour DVR easily, instead of a live event in the vein of recent television productions of Grease or The Wiz as almost you miss the point of. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. A collective visual experience not easily limited by the small screen. In the era of social networks, Twitter can be the new water cooler. But cannot replace the call with other fans at the local multiplex.

Cox casting provoked both celebration and criticism when it was announced last year, and no doubt. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Is a complex for the landmark of the transgender community. Cox is transgender women play someone. Who identifies as a transvestite derogatory term that generally applies to men who find pleasure dressing in women's clothes. Combining transgender people transvestites. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, can be done as much harm as good.

Leaving politics gender thorny side, Cox gives a go-for-breaking performance and clearly relishes the opportunity to show their rank after four seasons as a prisoner in the world in Sophia Bur set. Orange is the new black. She is a competent singer and a great dancer with long, expressive members. But fall into the trap of making a Curry printing, arrogant growl and English accent. Dr. Frank-N-Furter is a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania. Why it sounds like London?

The music is still as catchy as ever. And it's hard not to get caught up in the numbers signing as, Time Warp and Damn it Janet. Ortega and his fellow executive producers Gail Berman and Lou Adler. Have made an effort to launch musical talent of artists, including Broadway veteran Ben Veered as Dr. Everett Scott and loved affectionately Curry, who gives his seal of approval criminalist- game narrator. Most support shows are better than what they need. The always beautiful Annaleigh Ashford. This re-magines Columbia as Wackadoo Cyndi Lauper-esque, and Ryan McCartan, who recalls Brad Elder Price of “The Book of Mormon” are both outstanding.

This is a brilliant version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a finely tuned choreography. Elaborate costumes and makeup that remain intact. This seems contrary to the spirit sweaty, slapdash of the original.
The highest production values ​​also draw attention to the plot at random. Which in case you need a refresher, revolves around a couple prude stumble into the lair of Dr. Frank-N -Furter late one night and quickly lose their inhibitions and give testimony to the creature created in his laboratory.

The biggest change that has made Fox is the renewal of the opening sequence. The iconic red lips were replaced by a singer that guides the spectators to their seats in a theater where. The Rocky Horror Picture Show plays. In half an attempt to public participation. The film regularly cuts the spectators in the theater shouting some of the lines sound back. A live production would come much closer to capturing the collective experience fool. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But perhaps the risk of malfunction of the wardrobe was just too high.

Transgressive and radical for the time. The show was an inspiration to generations of fans, particularly LGBT youth. Maybe in a futile attempt to please fans of the original. Which probably never goes to get on board with a remake anyway. Ortega and the company have left. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Largely intact with some modifications to suit contemporary morals.

The film was established long before the terminology on gender has been refined. As the term transvestite there are a lot of times the film seems now problematic. It is hard not to flex when Dr. Frank-N-Furter is presented as Brad and Janet feels in bed. 

At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy-duddy, there is also something fundamentally sad when trying to recreate the magic of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. A curiosity that had once been discovered by trekking to the theater at midnight and sat in the dark with a group of strangers in costumes convey to millions of viewers sitting at home tweeting from their Smartphone’s.

In more than one way, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a relic best left in the safe.
