How and why did Judy Garland become a Gay Icon? Does anybody know?

I'm friends with lots of gay men and all of them seems to idolize Judy Garland and when I asked why they seem not to know. They just said that its the way it is. but I'm curious, does anyone out there knows whats the answer?

I haven't noticed that trend.

But she did marry a gay man.

Iv'e never heard that before actually.

Dougeebear answered the question completely, even including the part about the Stonewall riot and march that took place when Judy Garland died and this is why gay pride week is always around the anniversary of that event.

Judy Garland had a tortured and troubled life, and ultimately died prematurely from substance abuse. I think some gay individuals may relate to her because they are having a difficult life also.

This is a really good question!!! I am gay and Judy is a Gay Icon so are CHER JUdy DAVIS as are many others I personally am not crazy for her and I think it is a generational thing i love Angelina Jolie she makes me giggle!!

It's about the rainbow, and her ruby slippers.

i really dont know.. maybe cause she was a good singer? i have a gay friend and he abosolutely HATES JUDY GARLAND AND HER DAUGHTERS…
