No it's not just Judy Gay men love not only the MGM film but other stories set in Oz--the original books, more recent books with Oz themes and settings, and stage and screen productions like The Wiz. In Friends of Dorothy, based on interviews with more than one hundred gay Oz fans, Dee Michel explains the enduring appeal of Oz for gay men and boys. Interviewees include Gregory Maguire (Wicked), Robert Sabuda (the pop-up Wizard of Oz), and William Mann (Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn). The book also tackles the long-taboo topic of gay boys, examining their feelings about escaping to Oz, the characters they identify with, and the psychological and spiritual uses they make of stories set in Oz. The many voices in Friends of Dorothy, along with extensive research and analysis, provide a richly layered look at the allure of Oz, with insights into gay culture, gay psychology, and gay folklore.

**Title: Perfect Fit and Style for the Price!**
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy Blue
I recently purchased the Gafeng Men's Trench Coat in XXL, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! At 6'2" and 210 lbs with an athletic build, I was initially concerned about finding the right fit, but this coat exceeded my expectations. The fit is perfect—tailored yet comfortable—and the length is just right. The style matches the pictures exactly, which is something I’ve struggled with in past purchases. The lightweight, wooly fabric is surprisingly warm, making it ideal for winter without feeling bulky. For the cost, this coat is a fantastic deal. It looks sharp enough for business attire while still being versatile for casual outings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and functional overcoat!

Definitely NOT the COLOR that’s advertised but not bad
I got this for my son for him to have his 1st official “dressy” coat for certain occasions. It will do for the price, but as I said in the description, it’s definitely not the color that’s shown in the advertisement. Its also not taken in like the picture. But not bad. It’s more of a camel color than a khaki like the advertisement. My son is 5’9 and has a slim build, I bought a L because he’s tall and this fits fine to be honest. I want him to be able to grow into it next year as well. If you have long arms you may wanna size up.
