- "The Family" means gays, bis and lesbians. "Friends of Dorothy" means
- the same, but refers particularly to the thing gay men are supposed to
- have (and often do) with Judy Garland and the 'Wizard of Oz'. It was
- when Judy died that gay lib was officially born, with Stonewall.
-
- "The Family" hangs out on soc.motss, where these locutions are
- sometimes used.
