Today in Gay: Judy Garland’s 87th Birthday

So on the occasion of what would have been the great uber-hag’s 87th birthday, and just days after drunky daughter Liza Minnelli won her 200th Tony Award, we will first quote NYC show-mo Scott Nevins, who has changed his Facebook picture to an illustration of Judy for today and had this as his status update:

“Today marks the day of what would have been the 87th birthday of the worlds greatest entertainer and my biggest inspiration. In such a short life she gave us more than 10,000 humans half her age. She said, “I believe in the idea of the rainbow, and I’ve spent my entire life trying to get over it.”

[Ed Note: Impossibly, Jason Sechrest (who’s been up and Twittering since 5AM) has yet to acknowledge the holiday.]

And we’ll give you this video of her in her later days, showing up on The Dean Martin Show to sing with Dean-o and Frank Sinatra. Whether you’re “new gay” or “new old gay” or whatever, we hope you’ll forgive us.
