Found this on Unspun’s blog. I don’t know what I should say of this, except that I’m totally dumbfounded with such an appalling statement. Never expected the Dumbledore I always admire to turn out to be such a person…
But I guess Rowling simply doesn’t care about us Harry Potter fans anymore –you know— having finished the entire series once and for all… I’m so disappointed in her. Rowling could’ve said that Dumbledore’s love for Grindelwald is brotherly but, she didn’t.
She’s has commited a publicity stunt which –unfortunately— does more harm than good.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - J.K. Rowling has outed one of the main characters of her best-selling Harry Potter series, telling fans in New York that the wizard Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts school, is gay.

Speaking at Carnegie Hall on Friday night in her first U.S. tour in seven years, Rowling confirmed what some fans had always suspected — that she “always thought Dumbledore was gay,” reported entertainment Web site E! Online.

Rowling said Dumbledore fell in love with the charming wizard Gellert Grindelwald but when Grindelwald turned out to be more interested in the dark arts than good, Dumbledore was “terribly let down” and went on to destroy his rival.

That love, she said, was Dumbledore’s “great tragedy.”
“Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” she said.

Seriously Thomas, what's wrong with him being gay?
it's not a big deal actually... just feels disappointed with him coming out of the closet, that's all
Soooooo you would prefer him not coming out?
