If it isn’t in the original movie or this one, then she isn’t.

Speculation is a fancy term for guessing.

You're being kind - they're just virtue signaling.

[–] jk90us (7138) 21 hours ago

That too.

Not if L. Frank Baum didn't intend her to be. People can do whatever they like with their own characters, that they created for themselves. They don't get to redefine other authors' work.

Absolutely.

Yet they keep pulling that crap all the time these days.

And Cynthia Arivo is IRL. The original Wizard of Oz is notoriously gay friendly. Not just friendly, celebratory. "Friend of Dorothy?"

Two friends saw it last night and gave it raves. I do not plan to see it. 2 hours and 40 minutes and it is a two parter.

Literally ALL witches are lesbians. It's part of the package.

[–] jk90us (7138) 21 hours ago

Not surprised.

Considering some are so fugly men wouldn’t touch them.

Even under a spell.

There is absolutely nothing in the original novel or the 1939 movie to suggest that Glinda is homo.

That doesn't seem to matter anymore.

I never read the novel, but I agree. However, I do see her befriending gay munchkins and witches and warlocks.

If it’s not relevant to the story, who really gives a shit?

I mean, I suspect the cowardly Lion and the Tin Man in the 39 film were flaming homos too, but I’m not about to make a big song and dance about it.

'I suspect the cowardly Lion and the Tin Man in the 39 film were flaming homos too, but I’m not about to make a big song and dance about it.'

I will always see this film differently from now on! 😆

It never occurred to you before? They are both camper in mannerisms than a boy scout’s picnic!

but I’m not about to make a big song and dance about it.

No, let's hear it. It might be good.

[–] KiwiJim (1176) 13 hours ago

Ahem. Ok you asked for it..

I could while away the hours
If those two were big pink flowers,
And would swing the other way;
In my head they are flammin’
Friends of Dorothy I will name ‘em
If they only came out gay

🎶 🎶 🎶

Bravo! ;D

[–] ewd76 (1163) 16 minutes ago

Not bad.

[–] sslssg (34211) 12 hours ago

And I'm thinking....this is a musical....is it not the perfect place for a song and dance?? You just need some choreo for your song.

[–] KiwiJim (1176) 12 hours ago

I couldn’t possibly.

Oh alright then. Show me to my dressing room.
