How much gayer can it get. They all call themselves Friends of Dorothy anyways.
In gay slang, a "friend of Dorothy" (FOD) is a gay man;[1] and more broadly, any LGBTQ person. Stating that, or asking if, someone was a friend of Dorothy was a furtive shibboleth used for discussing sexual orientation while avoiding hostility.[2] 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. Actress Judy Garland, who portrayed Dorothy in the 1939 Wizard of Oz film, is considered a gay icon. Writer and critic Dorothy Parker is thought to be another potential origin of the term. The shibboleth "friend of Dorothy" was commonly used throughout the 20th century, but its use has declined in recent decades as LGBT acceptance has advanced.
