Harry Potter character is "gay"
Here is what appeared today in AOL news.
Quote:
Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.
...
Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason.

Now how dumb is this - - didn't she just write the last book?
If it's not a part of the book, why in the world "out" a character after the fact?

when I read this today I wondered if JKRowlings found herself "on the spot" and just blurted something out. But then I read further. I enjoyed the books, but I am seriously disgusted with her and the things she has said in the interviews quoted in this article.
In fact, as much as I enjoyed the Harry Potter series, I don't know that I will read much more of her stuff.
On the other hand, we all (or most of anyway) read fictional books all the time by authors that we would never agree with on most of what they believe. We enjoy their stories, but don't agree with their life-style. I just call that "life".

It sounded like she was thinking of Christians. She actually commented on how this will be something else that they can use against her.

Political correctness run amuck...
BTW most witches have no moral issues with homosexuality, gay sex, other forms or fornication as long as you are not harming another.
