So, how many slash-fic writers will use this to justify things they would of written anyway ?

And how many will now claim they knew this all along to justify things they wrote years ago ?

I knew they were best mates but didn't think he was gay! Did they actually have sex or was it not a physical relationship? Either way i didn't see that coming...

Wow.... just wow... it's a fictional character, why are you asking for such details? He's a fictional character that the author decided to make gay... thats it, nothing more nothing less.



And yes Rahja, harry potter jokes will now become more prominent now with it all being aimed towards dumbledores sexuality. Should spice things up abit.

Crazy religious groups who already don't like Potter books. And, in general, religious people.

Crazy religious groups, yes. In general religious people? Nice pigeon holing.
Isn't that what we're accused of doing? A majority of religious people and religions as a whole, condone and approve of homosexuality. While we may never approve of Clergy assaulting younger males, Gay's okay by us, and a vast number of other world religions.

As for Dumbledore being gay; what does it matter? This is a detail that could be left completely unsaid as it adds NOTHING of any substance to the plot of the books. (Mostly because he's a secondary main character, and lastly, his 'love interests' never took place, infact wasn't he killed off already?)

Yes, yes it is.

Though, it never ceases to add uproar having gay characters.
Marvel Comics as since turned several of their characters gay to sell books.
Collosus is supposedly gay now, Electro is gay now (even though in some titles he has a daughter, and as far as know, biological.)

DC comics' Bat girl is now a lesbian, there are probably dozens of others.

'Our books arent selling, how can we change this?'
'Here's a twist, theres a new clone of spiderman, and HE'S GAY!'
'Lets do it, we haven't tampered with our mythos enough yet.'

I think she was making a joke about the fan fiction floating around. Hence the "My god at the fan fiction" line. I could be wrong though, and if so then oh well. I personally couldn't care less, his sexual preference doesn't make him less of a badass.

That's also pretty likely too. It could've just been her dry authors wit.

Ian Mckellan is gay and he's a SERIOUS bad ass, Magneto? Gandalf? Kurt Dussander? (The Apt Pupil anyone?)
