"Friend of Dorothy" — Unisex garment-dyed heavyweight t-shirt

"Friend of Dorothy" (FOD) is a mid-20th-century slang term for a gay person. During eras when homosexuality was illegal and heavily stigmatized, the phrase was used as a discreet code to ask if someone was queer or to identify oneself to potential partners.

The phrase is famously linked to Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz (and the actress who played her, Judy Garland). Garland was an immense gay icon, and the character's journey of accepting outcasts (the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion) resonated deeply with the queer community.

The unisex garment-dyed heavyweight t-shirt ticks all the boxes and is made of 100% ring-spun cotton. The regular t-shirt style will complement most looks and fit you to a tee.
