Description

The greatest wizard of all time was gay! Suck it!

Seriously though, in terms of J.K. Rowling announcing that Dumbledore is gay, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm glad such a popular author addressed the place homosexuality has in her universe of characters, and that such a prominent character was given that distinction. On the other hand, knowing that Dumbledore is gay doesn't really make me look at the character in a different way, nor does it really affect the Harry Potter saga as a whole when you think about it. It might just be me, but I tend to think of sexual orientation as rather irrelevant so when it's used as a defining characteristic I tend to get rather annoyed. It feels like J.K. mentioned this just to stir up the proverbial cauldron a bit.

Maybe I'm just nit-picking. The public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive which is positive in itself. Plus it's a nice extra "fuck you" to all those conservative Christians who think Harry Potter is the devil.

"That's right, we practice witchcraft AND the greatest one among us is gay! We promote being good to eachother, why don't you?"
