I thought Dorothy and her friends from the Wizard of Oz were gay icons?
Add Ernie and Bert.
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).
L. Frank Baum was married to Maud - a marriage that lasted his whole life.
And he was a deeply devoted father and husband.
