(#14) Judy Garland
- Dec. at 47 (1922-1969)
The Advocate called Judy Garland "the Elvis of homosexuals." The term "Friend of Dorothy" was developed after the release of The Wizard of Oz, in reference to the gay community. Many gay people related with Dorothy's experience going from the black and white world of Kansas to the utopia that was Oz. The rainbow flag may have even been inspired by Garland's song from the film, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
