Tin man gay
Jack Haley, 79, who played the shy and diffident Tin Woodman in the film classic "The Wizard of Oz," died yesterday at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles after a heart attack. It is not far fetched to claim that, if one were to look at The Wizard of Oz under such a lens, that the cowardly lion might fit into such a category. Certainly, the idea of the tin man and the scarecrow, both men desiring what the other apparently has no need for, might be considered a good pair. To desire a mind, one might say is quite masculine; whereas to desire a heart is more effeminate.

That comes from interpreting the three central male characters Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), Tin Man (Jack Haley), and the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) as gay men revolving around a campy heroine (Judy Garland’s Dorothy). It begins with a painting won in a raffle: fifteen sunflowers, hung on the wall by a woman who believes that men and boys are capable of beautiful things. And then there are two boys, Ellis and Michael, who are inseparable. And the boys become men, and then Annie walks into their lives, and it changes nothing and everything.
People have written numerous stories positing various theories about how "The Wizard" symbolizes gay life. They cite the rainbow, which has become the universally recognized gay-pride flag. This is a picture from the scene in the film The Wizard of Oz after Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man find the Cowardly lion and accept him into part of their group to find the Wizard. In the show, I was trying to depict positive models of Kings and Queens in a time when so many people are abusing their power in negative, monarchal, ways. The Wizard of Oz is one of the most viewed and beloved films of all time, and has truly affected the world consciousness.

AI'sDomain's "Is the Tin Man from The Wizard Of Oz Gay?": Oz probably doesn't work with Earth's taboo set of sexuality and sexual orientation. (Especially if you import Maguire) Being an explicitly matriarchal society would skew things to begin with. That being said?. .
