Dumbledore is Gay

Looks like JK Rowling won't be making any friends on the religious right.

She outed Dumbledore in an interview yesterday.

Well dumbledore is an old world saying for bumble bee which hums or buzzes all over so......

So DMC, are you a hummer or a buzzer?

Which one is he?

Who really cares

That's what I said. When I heard it on the news yesterday, I asked myself, "how does that add to the story or his character?" Really, what grand fan needed that bit of information to make his world complete

Aww, I hope you can die a happy man now

I saw a headline "Dumbledore is Gay" the other day on CNN site, and said to myself who the hell is that? I would have never known who/what you were talking about if I hadn't just read the story. Never having seen Harry Potter, I'll add a be who cares also.

TIS

I'm both.

A bummer.

Major groan!!

P.S. I suspect "bummer" may have a slightly different meaning in England.

Yeah i know!
When i saw this over the week-end i said to my wife "Why has she done this now that the books are finished?"
It makes no sense to me?
But there again,not a lot does at the best of times

It's really kind of silly. If she was trying to make a statement, why didn't she just make the character gay in one of her books? Is she doing this now because sales are slacking? PUHLEEEEZE!! She's the wealthiest writer in history. I don't get it either.

So old Dumbledore was an aging Queen...who knew? I guess we all should have, what with those flowing robes and all the regalia with which he surrounded himself.

Now the question is who was he boffing? Snape or Hagrid?

All I have to say is it is done for publicity. Like it has been posted, there is no reason for that to be necessary for the novels.

Well, she was asked if Dumbledore ever found love. Its not like she was just like "Oh, by the way, Dumbledores gay."

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is.

So maybe that purple teletubbie was also gay after all.

I'm not sure about that, but I always thought that that Papa Smurf was a switch hitter.

I thought the purple teletubbie was Dumbledore.

Yeah really who gives a what....

No Mickey Mantle was a switch hitter.

INFAMITA!!

Maybe they should send this guy to Iran!

I haven't read any of the books or seen any of the movies, but I can't imagine why the author came out with such a statement unless she has some political/social agenda to further.

In short, JK Rowling is an absolute fucking whore.

And you know this first hand?

Actually...

There are no absolutes.

There are.

With whores.

I am not sure what "ever finding love" has to do with him being gay. Did she mean gay people never find love?

Anyhoo, I lost interest in the series after reading the 5th book. No book should be that long. She needed an editor that could stand up to her.

No, she was asked if he ever found love, and she answered that he was in love with Grindelwald.

I read the first and second books to my kids when they were younger, and forget many of the characters. Grindelwald must have appeared in the later books. Who was he?

Also, (and here's a dumb question) Dumbledore was the headmaster of the school, right?

According to Rowling he was really the HEAD master of the school!

Now that's funny. Reminds me of the days you can make a joke about anyone or anything without the world getting offended-:)

How did I not see that one coming?

He was like the pre-Voldemort.

Tony *IS* BI... oh wait, wrong thread. Sorry.
