Is Glinda Gay in Wicked? Ariana Grande, Kristin Chenoweth, and the Case of the Glittery Closet

Glinda, the sparkly queen of Wicked and hair-volume icon, has officially entered the chat of queer fan theories—and the results are as fabulous as you’d expect. For years, fans have speculated that Glinda and her green BFF Elphaba aren’t just defying gravity but also societal expectations of heteronormativity. Now, the stars of Wicked—past and present—are weighing in, and honey, it’s gayer than a rainbow at Pride. 🌈

Let’s break this down: during an interview with Gay Times (because where else would this theory flourish?), Cynthia Erivo, aka Elphaba 2.0, shared her thoughts on the green gal’s vibes. Spoiler alert: it’s giving “love is love.”

“I think Elphie, she goes wherever the wind blows,” Cynthia said, basically confirming that Elphaba is the chaotic bisexual icon we deserve. “She loves Glinda. She loves love. Honestly, who wouldn’t ship them? That’s true love. It’s like peanut butter and jelly, but with more Broadway belting and less calories.”

She doubled down: “What they have is an unbreakable bond. I mean, who else is gonna harmonize with you while dodging flying monkeys and a wizard who’s 90% hot air?”

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande: Closet Detective 🕵️‍♀️
Ariana Grande, Glinda 2.0 and ponytail sorceress extraordinaire, chimed in with her two cents on this glittery theory. “Glinda might be a little in the closet,” she mused. “You never know! She’s got trust, truth, and a wardrobe filled with sequins—it’s practically a metaphor.”

Ariana’s statement? Equal parts thought-provoking and the kind of thing that makes you scream, “COME OUT, GLINDA!” into your karaoke microphone during a rendition of “Popular.”

The original Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth, decided to sprinkle some fairy dust onto this theory, too. After E! News posted Ariana’s comments about Glinda possibly being “in the closet,” Kristin hopped into the Insta comments like your favorite aunt who’s had one too many mimosas at brunch.

“I thought so too way back when…” she wrote, essentially confirming that Glinda’s been radiating closeted queer icon energy since 2003. Kristin, thank you for your service.

Final Verdict: Is Glinda Gay?
While there’s no official confirmation, the evidence is piling up higher than Glinda’s signature curls. Between Cynthia’s poetic musings, Ariana’s wink-wink, nudge-nudge commentary, and Kristin’s nostalgia-fueled Insta confession, it’s safe to say Glinda and Elphaba have a chemistry that can’t be tamed by the confines of Oz—or heteronormativity.

So, is Glinda gay? Maybe. Is Wicked officially a queer masterpiece? Absolutely. Let’s just say, when it comes to the Emerald City, love is love, and sequins are forever.
