"Dumbledore is gay," says Rowling.

This paragraph said it all:

Yes, except: Why couldn't he tell us himself? The Potter books add up to more than 800,000 words before Dumbledore dies in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and yet Rowling couldn't spare two of those words—"I'm gay"—to help define a central character's emotional identity? We can only conclude that Dumbledore saw his homosexuality as shameful and inappropriate to mention among his colleagues and students.

Apparently Dumbledore didn't want anyone to know he was a homosexual; but Rowling stabbed him in the back and told everyone his secret. I wonder how he feels about that. He truly must be crushed at this revelation against his wishes. How can he face his fantasy friends in fantasy heaven where all fantasy characters go when they fanatasy die? Oh, the shame.

I want you to know that, other than my wife, I have never had anyone as enamored of me as you; and for that I am quite flattered. Making me your sig line? I'm blushing. :blush:

well it's one of the funniest things i've read in a long time, especially considering the source. i mean, come on, "the heart and sould of every man is up his ass?" that's side-splitting. especially coming from someone so obviously fascinated with gays yet so against them... "oh little timmy, i'm so conflicted, the attraction and repulsion is so intense... must... get... plooked!"

you're just so many characters wrapped up in one, that you're marvelously entertaining.

do you want a picture so you can put a face on that fantasy buggering of yours? :bgpimp:

Maybe more of a "none of your business" thing than a shame thing. Now the readers know but no the other characters in the book. :shrug:
 
It sounds like he's mad that now he'll be endlessly teased by his coworkers as though they were still in grammar school, all because of what strikes me as being a publicity stunt.

Oh yeah, radical Islam will take over the US and keep us from reading Potter!

Actaully conservative chritians are more of a problem as they think reading books with magic in them is a sin.

He, and I, never mentioned anything about America being taken over by radical Islam. You made that up.
 
Does anyone have any misapprehension over the fact that Rowling has now used homosexuals for her own personal monetary gain? This is obviously a publicity stunt and she is using a group of people as a foil for her own self agrandizement and gain.

big fucking deal.

if it weren't for 'the homosexual agenda' threatening the heart and soul of america, half the preachers in this country couldn't fill their collection plates, and their flocks would have to consider REAL issues rather than imaginary ones...

like having shitty, low paying jobs and limited futures.
 
That reminds me of the (only) part of the Satanic Bible that I read once. It was all about how the churches and preachers and blabla preach against satan and all that, but without him they would be nothing.. and so on and so forth.
