In an interview, Lorna Luft also argued the outpouring of grief following the 'Wizard of Oz' star's death was 'emotionally connected' to the Stonewall riots one day later.

Luft — who was born in 1952 and whose father was Garland’s second husband, the producer Sidney Luft — was taught the virtues of equality by her world-famous mother. “Don’t forget, she grew up in the studios and they encompassed every single type of person, from black artists to gay people who were closeted and had to be,” she explains. “That’s what I was taught from a very young age. I never understood how you can’t understand another person.
With a connection to her gay audience in place, perhaps it was a cosmic twist of fate that Garland would die the week of Stonewall, forever linking the fans to their idol. Though how much of an impact her passing had on the uprising at the Christopher Street bar is up for contention. Fricke, a lifelong Judy fan, still remembers, at 19, driving back to his home in Milwaukee from a convention that late June day.
