Why Judy Garland?
Why Judy Garland?
Why is Judy Garland such a (cliched) icon for the gay crowd?
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Marilyn Monroe a gay icon? That is one I haven't heard myself.

The late Hollywood star was voted above celebrities including Kylie Minogue and Madonna, who were named second and third respectively, and another film icon, Marilyn Monroe, who came in sixth place.

I suppose it's the whole secretly tortured life/tragic end thing.

Re: Why Judy Garland?
I actually meant Marilyn Munroe.
But Garland's portrayal of Dorothy was certainly a factor; as there is a lot about The Wizard of Oz that can be viewed as a metaphor for gay life.
But I confess, the first time I went to Washington 25 years or so ago, I went to the Smithsonian largely out of a desire to see the ruby slippers.
