The AP reports that J.K. Rowling has indicated that one of her main characters from her Harry Potter series, Dumbledore, the master of the wizard school is gay.

She made the announcement while appearing before a packed audience in Carnegie Hall the article states.

While taking questions, one fan asked if Dumbledore would ever ‘find true love’ and that’s when Rowling responded with the fact that he is gay.

Rowling mentioned how this fact will only give Christian groups one more reason to not approve of her work.

Springing this load of horse manure on children AFTER the series is over and she's made her millions is the epitome of intellectual cowardice. She's as slimy as she looks. She DESERVES to be rich!

Why is it that, every time someone tries to air their 'Gay propaganda', it has to reek?

And anyway, if Dumbledore really wanted to come out of the closet, he would have done it himself. Outing someone else is bad form...

I think it is disgusting and deplorable that she has to turn a perfectly wonderful children's tale into this controversial mess. Is she Rosie's buddy or what??? Obviously she is liberal and not a Christian. This is really outrageous and awful IMO.
I hope people boycott any further literary releases of hers. Great thing to teach your kids JK......just great.

Obviously, YOU'RE not the Christian. You're pretty good at being a hatemonger though.

What does being Christian have to do with someones made up fictional story? No one , Nobody , no person should think this is a big deal.
What ?? You think she is going to write a story between Snape and Dumbles having at it and Hermione walks in on them when they are in the numerical position. Look that's not going to happen.
Please don't be mad. It's just a fictitious made up story and her making Dumbles gay is irrelevant. Please people stop defending a fake persons sexual orientation. It doe not matter one bit.

It's in human nature to judge others. Sometimes we just should forget our judgments of people, and get to know them for who they realy are, not just what we see in them, but what we are yet to discover about them, though we fear the unknown. I think that she had a reason for making him gay so if thats how it is then thats how it is.
