So it was released all over the news tonight that at a press conference or some such jazz, Ms. J.K. Rowling was asked if Hogwart's Headmaster Dumbledore had ever been in love, to which she replied that Dumbledore was, in fact, gay. This was met with cheers from the audience, and Ms. Rowling replied that if she'd known it would have been met with such a great reaction, she would have told us of Dumbledore's flaming homosexuality at an earlier date.
I have three words to sum this up: What. The. Fuck?
Now now, before you get your panties in a knot - I am not homophobic. I don't believe that people choose their sexuality any more than they choose their skin colour... it just is. But Dumbledore? Gay? It's just sort of hard for me to get my head wrapped around. He's Dumbledore. He's old and stuff. He's supposed to be like, asexual or something.
So I can picture all the churchies that hate Harry Potter with a passion, writing out their laundry list of things wrong with the series, "OMG! IF LITTLE JANIE READS THIS SHE WILL CERTAINLY CATCH TEH GHEY!", and the fanfic writers going, "OMG! THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME! THINK OF ALL THE SLASH FIC-SHUN WE CAN RITE!1!!!!11!!!" and it really hurts my head.
Oh, JK. Who wants to play "Who's Next Out of the Closet: The HP Edition"?
