Dumbledore was Gay?

J.K. Rowling stunned the world the other day when she revealed at Carnegie Hall in New York City that she always thought of the character Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series as being Gay.

According to the AP, the announcement was initially greeted with gasps and then applause. Remember, this is New York we’re talking about, quite possibly the world’s most cosmopolitan city.

All I can say is oh my goodness, who would have thunk it? Hey, what about old Snape, he didn’t have a feminine romantic interest and sort of always hung around Dumbledore. Do you suppose Snape and Dumbledore were chummier than we were led to believe?

And then what about McGonnagall and that divination professor Sybill Trelawney, there’s a match made in heaven if ever I saw one. I mean, after all, we’ve all heard about English boarding schools.

Ok, ok, enough with the joking around. It’s just that in a world going bat crazy something as silly as this brightens up the day. Dumbledore was Gay. Imagine that.

Boy, if the Right Wing Christian fruitcakes had problems with Harry Potter before they’re really going to go ape now. Oh wait a minute, can they go ape if they don’t believe we’re descended from apes? Oh yeah, that’s right, reality exists regardless of whether or not you believe in it.
