It's not. But you know how the gays like to "claim" things as "icons?" Judy Garland was a mainstream celebrity who associated herself with them. Her dad was gay, at least one of her husbands was bi, she hung out at gay bars with friends. Basically, the Lady Gaga of the 40s.
And once they claim someone, they'll claim all their work. Then claim the source material. To be a little fair, it is best known as a fairy land of campy musical theater, rainbows, and VERY important shoes.
But seriously, it's just the standard thing where they project of themselves onto a thing they liked and then it becomes a social contagion where one must like it to prove they're a member of the group.

That is true. Just like they somehow see “queer coding” in every book and comic book from the beginning of time. The original Baum books are good.
