WHY DID GAY MEN MARRY JUDY GARLAND?
He is remembered as one of the great filmmakers of the 1940s, but his key bgraphers believe he was also an early example of a gay or bisexual man workg a ls than acceptg environment. Four tim married, wh two children, he has a strikg and eply ntented send legacy, one batably as a closeted gay man. Mnelli is wily regnised certa circl whout bate as a gay man.
In Mark Griff’s words A Hundred or More Hidn Thgs: ‘Dpe the fact that Mnelli was married to Judy Garland and three other women… was generally assumed that he was a closeted gay man who, due to the societal ndng of his era, felt pelled to marry and procreate. There seems to be a vast quanty of evince potg to the fact that Mnelli was openly gay New York, before a move to Hollywood forced him back to the closet. As much as we n unrstand Mnelli did not ‘choose’ to bee gay, we mt know he did not choose to alter his herent sexualy to be wh the women he was.
As easy as is to believe that a pre-ter, and, to an extent, pre-paparazzi world, an openly gay man such as Mnelli may have found easier to pe scty, this is a fable. Gay rights moved slowly Ameri, and batably even slower central Europe.
