Dumble(back)dor?
by Anonymous at 2:25 PM
J.K. Rowling revealed on Friday during an interview at Carnegie Hall that everyone's favorite wizard Albus Dumbledor is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I love this quote from Melissa Anelli, webmaster of the fan site "the leaky cauldron": "Rowling calling any Harry Potter character gay would make wonderful strides in tolerance toward homosexuality. By dubbing someone so respected, so talented and so kind, as someone who just happens to be also homosexual, she's reinforcing the idea that a person's gayness is not something of which they should be ashamed."
Dumbledor is not a real person, is he?
Real or not, who can blame him for not being able to resist the charm of Grindelwald? Talk about a heart-breaker.
And yes, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

My favorite quote:
"It's great that JK has said this. It shows that there's no limit to what gay and lesbian people can do, even being a wizard headmaster."
