A “Friends of Dorothy Meetg” is a dated way of sayg that gay travellers are ved to meet wh other gay people on that ship. I fd really strange that today’s world, cise l are still g a term that dat back to a generatn when beg gay / homosexual was illegal. This means that gay cisers of younger generatns are unlikely to even be aware they are happeng!
The Oxford Universy Prs f a “iend of Dorothy” as “a homosexual man”. Many believe that the term is lked to the gay in Judy Garland, and her classic role as Dorothy the Wizard of Oz.

It do though further add to the argument that is probably a dated and silly way of intifyg gay people for a get-together on a cise ship. Cise l actually enthiastilly embraced the term as far back as the 1980s, as they feared the reactn of passengers if they were more overt about havg gay get-togethers on their ships.

This probably bee there are more likely to be upl than sgl on cis, and so may be ls ncerned about makg gay specific nnectns and iends.
But, by fn, this is also when the gay passengers who may want to attend are also by.
It harks back to an age when gay men and women need to live a more ghetto liftyle. Today, society – certaly that among many cise passengers my experience – take the fact that a uple is gay more as a fact than an issue. • If I was a solo traveller (eher straight or gay) I would want to nnect wh other solo travellers, as there are many benefs to dog thgs wh others than by yourself.
