Not quite. She was an activist on animal welfare and a very good jazz singer -still have my vynil The Early Doris Day.
And, as to the song, Secret Love from Calamity Jane, there is a subtext to the gender of the love - taken up by some to come out of the closet.

I suppose it was pretty difficult to seem sexy when she was starring with Rock Hudson.

The internets tell me God was important in her life.
