Judy Garland may be a queer icon but I haven’t heard of the Wizard of Oz movie being queer. The actual book is about monetary policy, it opposes the silver standard being pushed by William Jennings Bryan (the cowardly lion).
I have heard queers call themselves "friends of Dorothy" but I also have never heard it said the movie has gay themes.

WHAT! You don’t remember the Lion singing about being a “dandy lion”?
It is almost as if Jimmy Durante did not see a man who he declared to be “A Sunflower, swish, sister, swish!” (/the Phantom President)
or Peter Lorie placing the SIX INCH LONG handle of his cane against his mouth in THE MALTESE FALCON!
