"Friend of Dorothy" explaination (History)
Stonewall Inn in YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN. 2019 Taylor performed at the bar to honor the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots.
Judy Garland starred in Wizard of Oz and the day she died precipitated the Stonewall Riot. Everyone was in the bar mourning her death and the cops knew Judy was a queer icon & decided easy pickings bc being gay was illegal. So they decided to arrest everyone inside Stonewall.
But instead of an arrest it turned into a Riot and it became a turning point in queer rights or "the hairpin drop heat ‘round the world". And that was the first Pride. (x)
e.g. Elton John used Wizard of Oz as a reference to try to tell people he is gay before formally coming out. (x)
A "friend of Dorothy" is a euphemism for a gay man, first used in LGBT slang, and is more broadly used to describe any LGBTQ person.
The term was likely based on the character Dorothy Gale of the Oz series of novels, which have been interpreted as including much queer subtext.
