Queer Eye for the Old Guy

If you aren't already tired of hearing from those who think the Harry Potter books will turn children to witchcraft...well, you're about to be. Last night at Carnegie Hall, J.K. Rowling announced that Professor Dumbledore is gay. He was apparently in love with his friend-turned-rival Gellert Grindelwald, who appears mostly in flashbacks in the final book. (Thinking back, I'm not surprised...I remember having that impression when reading about their friendship.)

Rowling read from her book, then took questions from the audience, which included someone asking whether or not Albus Percival Wulfric Brian (Brian?) Dumbledore found true love, to which she simply blurted out, "Dumbledore is gay."

Who are these people posing questions to the author? He's dead in book six--does it really matter? That's really what you wanted to know--the question you've been waiting to ask the author of the most popular children's books of all time?

If you see smoke rising from your local evangelical church parking lot tonight, you'll know what they're burning.

I can't say that I'm surprised. I mean the greatest wizard in the world not married. Some of the things he said to Harry...yikes! Oh and he cried a lot. He had to be the feminine one in his relationships.

Now that big D has come out of the closet, we know the real reason he had to die! Gays are against the Ministry of Magic's Constitution, it is a proven fact!
