Doris day gay

• Calamity Jane is a groundbreaking film that challenges traditional gender roles and explores LGBTQ+ themes through its characters and relationships.
• Doris Day, the star of the movie, embraced the cultural impact and importance of the LGBTQ+ community's reception of "Secret Love" and her feminist roles.
• Day's close friendship with Rock Hudson, a closeted lgbtq+ man, and her encourage of the LGBTQ+ collective further solidified her status as a gay ally both on and off-screen.

Doris Day gave a infrequent interview about her beloved friend Rock Hudson decades after she left Hollywood behind in 1973.

Closer Weekly recently reported the 96-year-old actress and singer participated in Mark Griffin’s recent book, titled “All That Heaven Allows: A Biography of Rock Hudson.”

Hudson, a screen idol during the ‘50s and ‘60s who was often paired with America’s Sweetheart in lovey-dovey comedies, died in 1985 at age 59 after suffering of AIDS for more than a year.

The New York Times reported Hudson was the first major public figure to openly acknowledge that he was suffering from the incurable disease. The newspaper added that while acquaintances often described Hudson as being gay, the player never publicly commented or acknowledged the reports.

Closer Weekly revealed that Day, who fiercely preserves her personal life away from cameras and rarely gives interviews, didn’t hesitate to vocalize the praises of her close friend.

“Between scenes, we’d walk and talk and laugh, and I think our comedic timing grew out of our friendship and how naturally entertaining we were together,” Night told Griffin.

It doesn't produce much sense if you can say that of anybody.
And if you say Doris is a gay icon, then you must first explain how she can be a gay icon without organism gay herself, and then how it is compatible with her other "images" : virgin, goody goody, mother with child, housewife, self made woman...
The answer is simple : it's just part of her talent of actress to be all that altogether. Have you ever noticed when watching photos how she can stare different from one pic to another, as if there were not one but several Doris Days. It's part of the magic... or is it the magic of all the women ? So I wouldn't say that she is an diva of anything, except perhaps an icon of humanity, if this expression was acceptable without transforming her in a kind of goddess.
As for confidential love, some people may think it's a same-sex attracted song, but you might also give it a spiritual sense, if you believe that the association between the man and God is a nice of love relationship, then many love songs could almost become prayers or declarations of faith. And I don't think that Doris would dispute that. So as we state in French : chacun voit mi

It’s no secret that Doris Day, who passed away at age 97 in 2019, was one of those stars of elderly Hollywood destined for immortality. Though she hadn’t appeared in a new motion picture since 1968’s With Six You Get Eggroll and had been largely out of the public eye for several decades, her screen performances from the 1950s and 1960s were (and are) still perennial favorites among legions of fans, symbolic of a certain kind of stardom, a certain kind of all-American innocence. Given that she is currently the TCM Star of the Month and given that this is Women’s History Month, I thought it might be worth exploring why this is so in a little more detail, focusing in particular on her appeal to a certain demographic: the gays. 

It’s something of a truism that Day, favor many other female stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, is something of a queer icon. What makes her queer idolization so striking, and in some ways unusual, is that she’s so unlike many of the other divas that gay men typically idolize. As a singer, she lacks the sort of brazen harshness of an Ethel Merman, and as an actress she seems to lack the steely spine and icy bitchiness of a Bette Davis or a Joan Crawford.
