But according to J.K. Rowling, Dumbledore is SO gay!

On her US book tour in Carnegie Hall she took audience questions and was asked if Dumbledore found "true love".

"Dumbledore is gay," she said. "He was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, who he beat in a battle between good and bad wizards long ago. Falling in love can blind us to an extent," she added. "Dumbledore was horribly, terribly let down and his love for Grindelwald was his "great tragedy".

Rowling told the audience that while working on the sixth Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, she saw the script had a reference to a girl who was once of interest to Dumbledore.She made director David Yates aware of the truth about her character.

Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell welcomed the news about Dumbledore and said: "It's good that children's literature includes the reality of gay people, since we exist in every society. But I am disappointed that she did not make Dumbledore's sexuality explicit in the Harry Potter book. Making it obvious would have sent a much more powerful message of understanding and acceptance."

Personally, I couldn't agree more with that statement. It's kinda cowardly to write a character with no sexuality then wait until after all the book sales and movie deals are done to announce "Oh, by the way, that guy was gay the whole time." I read the books and my gaydar didn't go off once. The guy spent his life fighting wizards, dragons and trolls. How does hinting that he had "a troubled past" automatically equal "gay", in that context?

A spokesman for the gay rights group, Stonewall added: "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."

No, sorry. Gays and lesbians cannot be wizard headmasters because last time I checked WIZARDS DON'T EXIST IN REAL LIFE!! By that line of reasoning, referring to gay men as "fairies" isn't an insult...dumbass!

Rowling said she regarded her novels as a "prolonged argument for tolerance" and urged her fans to "question authority". "Not everyone likes my work.
Christian groups have alleged the books promote witchcraft. My revelation about Dumbledore would give them one more reason."

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, Ms. Rowling. Before Dumbledore there was already a long-standing tradition of openly gay wizards...

Well at least we have a new spell to look forward to. Dumbledore will teach Harry "FABULOUS FASHION" and make Harry look super fierce for his final fight with Voldimort.

Yeah, a choice to judge a person based on the content of their character or their sexual preference.

Not really a tough choice at all.

its one of those things...some kids are like Dumbledore is so cool, I want to be just like him...then BAM he turns out to be gay, and what does that say about them?? They have to make a choice right there and then...

And wasn't Gandalf gay? Oh wait, the guy who was playing him was gay. They should have gotten Ian McKellen to play Dumbledore. It would have been a perfect fit.

And to think I always thought of him as a confirmed bachelor.

I ALWAYS suspected that she made a deal with the devil...I mean c'mon she went from being a homemaker to a billionaire in like 2-3 years??

This is amongst one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of, I've never liked J.K. Rowlings and this is just one more reason to see her as a complete idiot.

Her paint by numbers fantasy is now complete with an after the fact taste the rainbow twist.

In related news it's been revealed that Professor Minerva McGonagall once ran an abortion clinic and Professor Snape suffers from a prolonged case of Parkinson's.

God forbid Rowling actually work this fact in to the story and character itself. That would take away from her splendid overuse of magical Deus Ex Machina crutch.

I knew it! Guy in his 50s, alone, he has to be gay...no way around it?! I bet some of Harry's female teachers will eventually be 'outted' in the same fashion...I think that new teacher in the last movie was too butch...yes/no?
