Dumbledore is gay.
I don't have a problem with gay people. I don't have a problem with human rights, or tolerance or diversity or acceptance or anything. I just don't see the point of having human sexuality in children's literature. Gay, straight or otherwise.
I further don't see the point of making the revelation now, after the books are done. Is Rowling so desperate for media attention, now that her cash cow has been milked dry, that she has to retroactively stir the pot?
Personally, I think it's silly. If it was important enough to her to make a statement now, why not reveal it in the books themselves? Because it would put a damper on sales, of course. By making the statement now, the few people who hadn't already read the books might actually go purchase them and read all about the "gay headmaster." *sigh*
It sure smells like a publicity stunt to me.
