Random information on the term “Friend of Dorothy?”:
Actress Judy Garland (1922–1969) is widely considered as a gay icon. The Advocate has called Garland “The Elvis of homosexuals”. The reasons frequently given for her standing as an icon among gay men are admiration of her ability as a performer, the way her personal struggles seemed to mirror those of gay men in America during the height of her fame, and her value as a camp figure. Garland’s role as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz is particularly known for contributing to this status. In the 1960s, when a reporter asked how she felt about having a large gay following, Garland replied, “I couldn’t care less. I sing to people!”
The aspects of gay identification with Garland were being discussed in the mainstream as early as 1967. Time magazine, in reviewing Garland’s 1967 Palace Theatre engagement, disparagingly noted that a “disproportionate part of her nightly claque seems to be homosexual”. It goes on to say that “[t]he boys in the tight trousers” (a phrase Time repeatedly used to describe gay men, as when it described “ecstatic young men in tight trousers pranc[ing] down the aisles to toss bouquets of roses” to another gay icon, Marlene Dietrich) would “roll their eyes, tear at their hair and practically levitate from their seats” during Garland’s performances. Time then attempted to explain Garland’s appeal to the homosexual, consulting psychiatrists who opined that “the attraction [to Garland] might be made considerably stronger by the fact that she has survived so many problems; homosexuals identify with that kind of hysteria” and that “Judy was beaten up by life, embattled, and ultimately had to become more masculine. She has the power that homosexuals would like to have, and they attempt to attain it by idolizing her.”
